Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
Thx - I will look into Shunyata Research - I was unfamiliar with them until recently.  
Luxman 509x or Simaudio 600iV2 with mágico A3.
I have owned a Luxman L-509u powering Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations speakers and more recently a Luxman L-595A integrated amp.  I own a Sim Audio Moon transport and have looked at some of their amps but have not had any in my system. The Luxman ... 
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
Thx - the PSM 156 gets a lot of love!  
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
I'm looking for a modest but effective power filter in a second system, more modest than the Accuphase PS-530 in my main system that replaced a PS Audio PP12 power regenerator.   
Help me understand the current amp market
The Luxman L-509x is a hugely capable amp (I have a 509u now in a second system).   I am not familiar with Wisdom Audio speakers, but having in-wall speakers could be the weakest part of your system.   Maybe you should be looking for speakers at... 
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
I think the REF I5i is made by Furman, not Furutech... Sounds like you are enjoying the PSM 156 (not PMS!).  
what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps?
@sutts - sorry to hear that you sold them, but I'm enjoying mine.  There are so many factors between systems including speaker matching with the amp, sources, room, power etc. The Accuphase C-2450 + A48 preamp/amp combo are a noticeable improveme... 
slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good?
Thanks to all for your advice and input. Here is my update: I installed a current production Accuphase AD-2900 phono unit into my C-2450 preamp. It is a substantial unit that is very well built, was easy to install and works flawlessly. The prea... 
Amp vs Preamp
They are both important and work in unison like a couple on a dance floor.  
Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation
The Parsifal was Verity Audio's first speaker launched 30 years ago, and the rear firing bass has been a constant in most of their other designs.   With the Parsifal Ovation you can flip the bass around and have the woofer and bass port face forw... 
Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation
The comment is just "bass pouring out the rear".  
Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation
The Verity Audio Parsifal is one of the great speakers of the last 30 years - it was the first product that Verity Audio launched, and the Ovation is I believe the 4th of 5 iterations of that venerable design. I have owned the Parsifal Ovation si... 
what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps?
Thx for the good news about the sound of Accuphase amps.   I am in the process of purchasing Accuphase separates - a C-2450 preamp + A-48 amp.  
what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps?
I am hoping that Accuphase separates will be a little better than their integrated amps...  
The pull of separates - Luxman M-10x vs. Accuphase A-48 power amps
Thx.  The Arindals replaced Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations which I will use in a second system as I don't want to part with them.  With the closing of Verity Audio they have become that much more precious. I think that the A-48 is the way to go w...
