Tube Audio Design HIbachi-II amps with Maggie 1.6?
Hibachi I/II put out around 220w into 4 ohms. They are nice solid amps as I use a pair to drive a pair of PMC OB1's. Paul is a stand up guy and his gear is top notch. If you're looking at the pair for sale on the forums for $550 shipped they are a...

Genelex 6922, 12ax7, or 12au7
Running a pair of the cryo'd version from Cryoset. These are the 12AU7's. The device is a TAD PreDAC. First set of tubes that were used were EH 12BH7 that were extremely detailed but lacked low end. The Gold Lion 12AU7's are very well balanced, wi...

Any TAD-150 Signature Fans Still Out There?
Sold mine after owning for around 6 months. 2 months later I ended up purchasing another. It is an excellent value for the money. One of those few pieces of equipment whose performance easily outpaces its cost.

Milen007 - There is no difference in the actual data between WAV and AIF/AIFF hence there is no difference in sound qualty. They are both uncompressed formats.AFF is big-endian and WAV is little-endian (although there are little-endian aiff's out ... 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Finally got a different pair of speakers hooked up to this beast of an integrated and OMFG.The speakers are Mobile Fidelity OML-2 and the bass is thunderous. Guess those Audio Physic Tempo's were a bit wimpy on the low end. No need for a subwoofer...

Cft - You were right, the problem was not the amp but the room. Damn rooms! 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Again, another follow-up on this amp with a few more comments.I have now moved to a new space and it has made a HUGE difference in the sound. My previous listening room was around 12x19 w/ hardwood floors and one of the walls consisted of glass do... 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
This follow up is a long time coming. The Amperex tubes were removed and replaced with the stock Electro Harmonix which firmed things up a bit. Also, my external sound card was outputting in +4 mode which turns out didn't mix well with the inputs ...

Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Cft: How do you like the Predator? I think it's an amazing value and honestly have no desire to move to another unit except for the bass issue. Another member here sold it off for ~$1800 recently so it was a no brainer. That's around $400 more tha...
