Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
What do you guys think about the Bel Canto Black ACI 600 all in one.Does it compete with much more expensive separates ? 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
david_ten congratulations on your purchase, i might also follow the same path in the near future.I spoke today to a US dealer that carries both brands and has both integrated in store.In my particular case to match my Thiel CS 3.7s he suggested th...

I find Qobuz much better than Tidal and Spotify but to be able to subscribe you have to live in Europe if i recall.

@denon1 If you are still looking at upgrading your sources i would highly recommend Totaldac as some of the best out there.I have auditioned the Esoteric N-01 and the Totaldac Seven same price point and my choice went to the Totaldac Seven no hesi...

@david_ten  Thanks for your feedbacks on all of this gear that you were able to audition, i'm surprised you prefered the T+A 3100 over the Ypsilon Int, that does speak to me.I'm a big fan of Ypsilon, last year i was fortunate enough to demo the PS...

I finally have a T+A distributor in my country since april 2018 so i will try to get in touch with him and see if it is possible to demo this gear.The Luxman L-509X looks beautiful but i'm not sure it has the juice to drive properly Thiel 3.7s.Tha...

Dave do you think the T+A HV 3100  will be more refined and have more magic with my CS 3.7 compared to the Diablo 300 and the Vitus RI-101 ? or is it a close call ?Thanks,Thieliste

Dave and Troy many thanks for your input, i diden't think T+A would be on the warm side therefore i will have to check them out.There is no distributor in my area but i guess it would be possible to order directly from Germany.As for Gryphon i hav...
