Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Stringreen5, Were the Merrill amps you heard the Element model (GaN)? Did you hear them in the Muraudio room at the Florida show? 
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
Carver warrants tubes for 5 years and stats like the voltage of tube amps, Carver monos is my vote.

Thanks G, looking forward to your observations.

Guido, Please let us know how big a difference there is between a single 535 vs a bridged pair in your evaluation, thanks.

Jonnie, Add to your list of "Digital Amps" the Exogal combination of Comet and Ion, the 2 forming a direct digital amp, the culmination of Jim Kinne's work continuing on from Wadia roots.

WCSS, Keep on your path of trying out gear in your system, it is the only real way to judge. I underestimated Neoliths based on 4 "Show" auditions, I'm glad you forged ahead and gave them a try. Good luck on your quest and I hope you can maybe fin...

Mike, Yes many "non doucebags" can appreciate a beautiful chassis, Rowland & Cos spring to mind, on a low rack to avoid ruining the image.

Thanks for your report on today's listening session, very informative especially the Blocks reclaiming the top rung.

WCSS, You have not slowed down in spite of the Holidays! Keep trying new kit and keep us guessing. Any hints on a new front end, analog or digital? Server?  
Tekton Double Impacts
I agree with David Ten, the Encores and Ulfberts with their 15 tweeter array bring the performance Billy found in the DIs to another level entirely, crossing over to the array at 300 Hz puts most midrange information in the tweeter path creating t...

@viber6 and @mrdecibel, Mapleshade also offers no speaker cables shorter than 8 feet, based on listening tests. Their cables are real giant slayers but must be tried before being dissed.

WCSS, If you want to try @viber6's thin wire theory, the ultimate retail version would be from Mapleshade and their Clearview Double Helix, http://www.mapleshadestore.com/speakerwires.php    These minimal "skinny" wires surprisingly produce great ...

WCSS, I know you love the Ref 10, and it might have some advantages over an all D'Agostino solution, but without the ability to boost the highs you may like the all Dag system more. The SA103/Ref 10 audition will give you some feedback on how much... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@iwasgointo, I owned Legacy Focus 20/20s for a while, very good speaker. I'm not sure the Encore can give you more bass impact but they might go lower? With 14 tweeters crossing over at 300Hz I think you'll get more midrange and vocal detail and t...
