Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Im excited about the PS kit. The amps are ICE POWER tech. The input is proprietary, but the Gaincell is a volume module based on a B & O design. There are a number of in depth reviews on the net. I asked Paul McGowan if they are dabbling with ...

Emerald Physics 2.8s brand new < $10KI love my ~ $2500 KCIIs (wireworld and Clarity Cap upgrades)  but these  The EP2.8 and EP4.8 are the same with the addition of one woofer in the EP2.8. Both the 2.4 and 2.8 use the same two Emerald Physics ...

Need Advice & Need It Fast
Sorry but this is delusional  If your system has a lot of mains leakage (harmonics of 60Hz for Americans), then the WireWorld does perform better than generic cables (mostly due to the wiring technique and shielding, nothing magical). However, if... 
3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables
OP, glaringly missing from your extensive cable inventory is WireWorld. FYI David Salz was Straightwire's designer from the very beginning. They split up well over a decade ago. WWs series 7 and now 8 are phenomenal

Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Well, just because they both use UcD does not mean they sound the same. I found the EP monos thin in the mids, which exaggerated the highs. They were used with my KCIIs as is the AA amp anyway, Im getting PS Audio 700Ms and the gaincell dac/pre at... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Tim, The Audio Alchemy class D are far superior to the EPs. The Absolute Soud reviewed them back in March of 2016. I found it after having bought the AA stereo amp and dac/pre. These days the come u for sale at < 50% off, probably ONLY because ...
