My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
@whitecamaross what happened to the Lampizator? Do you like the Oppo 205 better than the Lampi?  
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I have to say @techno_dude that I disagree with your comment about Shunyata PC. I tried the Alpha NR in my system along with the Delta in an A/B comparison. I as well as my GF thought the Delta's sounded better than the Alpha. It is synergy in the...

In doing a little research, one of audiolabyrinth's suggestions Tara Labs offers a 14 day in home evaluation. https://www.taralabs.com/cable-loanersTheir most expensive cable is $30k, gulp!Looks like a refundable 35% down so you are out of pocket ...

I compared the Shunyata Delta and Alpha NR cables recently. There was a huge change in the system by switching all of the power cables. Amps, Pre Amp and Line Conditioner and DAC. The system sounded different.In doing an A/B/C shootout of Stock De... 
Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8
I have owned the 509x and now own the C900 U, M900 U (pair in Mono Config). I originally paired the 509x with Focal Sopra N. 2 and it was okay. I like to listen on the loud side and I didn't feel that I could really push it and feel the music move... 
Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase
I will agree with Denon. I felt at moderate listening levels that the 509x was top of the line. However when you want to crank it up it just didn't dig and put ooomph behind the music. JMOT 
Back to the drawing board
If you can get your hands on the Golden Ear Super Sub XL, I highly recommend giving it a listen. I think that it beats SVS out of the water for Music however the SVS is way better for HT. Just my opinion.

So........I will tell you that the Luxman M-900u in Mono with the C-900u powering the Neolith is nothing short of spectacular. It is effortless at any volume and type of music that you throw at it. I have depth to the sound stage and the clarity o... 
Focal Sopra 2
I have owned the 2 and currently have the 3 and I will tell you if you love the 2's the 3's will absolutely blow you away.  
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
I personally think that you are fine doing what you are doing as long as you ask the brick and mortar store to price match. If they wont then that is on them and their business practices. I think we all know that the price is not really the price ...

WCSS, give me about 2 weeks and you can come to Texas and hear my Neolith, Luxman Combo with some great BBQ, Shiner Bock and Tito's Vodka. It will be the best $300 for a plane ticket you will spend.
