My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I love RadioShack speaker wire. Before they closed I bought all the remaining    stock in the 2 local stores near me!.....yay for me!    Great synergy with my Rane equalizer and Tekton speakers.  I may part with a 25ft roll or 2 if the price is ri... 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
My Diablo 300 was barebones as I only use digital streaming from a LUMIN U1 to a Chord Dave Dac via AES/ebu.....then to the Diablo. It worked splendidly.Inna ......in my present system I have the LUMIN U1 to the Chord Dave to a Vac Renaissance Mk5... 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
I home demoed both the Diablo 120 and 300 before I purchased the 300.The Diablo 120 imho at medium to low volumes sounded as good if not better than the 300. But as a value taking price versus power the 300 won me over.The Diablo 120 has a special...

Bottleneck somewhere.. 
Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8
Do yourself a favor....save some bucks........buy a Vac 200iq and a nice preamp.The synergy between Magicos and Vac is destination sound.  My search ended when I paired my S3MK2 with them.

Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations
I got carried away reading the hype on LFD on the Harbeths forum. Ordered one and it was no where as good as my little Bryston B135-sst2 integrated. Luckily i was able to return it. I was pairing it with HL5 plus also.My next amp was the Pass Int-...

Avantgardes have horns to fit any size room!  I am considering the Uno Finos XD for my smallish 11x14 and have audioned them in a 14 x 17 room in which they sounded more than great. Careful buying used because latest XD series is the one to get an...

MSB all the way WCS!It’s the only DAC I would take over my Chord Dave.

I hate violin solos unless you EQ it thru a Rane! I find Stradivarius roll of high frequencies too much specially with the later woods used in their construction or the chemicals used to treat the woods.lol 
Magicos are chesty
My Magico S3MK2 speakers are very accurate and uncolored and a bad recording , well, it will sound like a bad recording.  I did play the Chris Isaak tune 5-15 and other similar stuff like Tony Joe Whites Rain Crow and they sound balanced in my sys... 
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
LUMIN U1......I love mine.SQ jump from McBook Pro was huge......I use AES/EBu to my Chord Dave and its amazing.
