Merlin TSM MMM to MMM BME
I did hear about Bobby's unfortunate passing and yes it appears at least for now Merlin is not taking on any new work. I have a lead on a dealer who may be able to do the upgrade if the consensus is that it is worthwhile. 
Golden Ear Triton 1 what front ends match well
Scott, How are you liking your Sony? How does it compare to others you have had? Same question for you Mr Bill. Thanks 
record out on integrated amp
I was very suprised as I was dissapointed in the performance with the ss amp. One thing is that I based the ss performance with only an hour or so on the unit. When I hooked the tube amp up it had been on overnight. I do not believe the buffer has... 
record out on integrated amp
In case anyone is interested. I picked up a Yaqin Sd-CD3 tube buffer off of amazon. On my SS amp it did not make a huge diffeence. It was a slightly softer sound and reduced the hardness in the high frequencies when pushed. Overall a slight but au... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Scott, I would have to agree with you about the Triton Ones. They really do play any genre with aplomb. Try playing some Opeth off the well recorded Ghost Reveries album on a lot of Audiophile speakers and they will fall on their ass. I don't need... 
Golden Ear Triton 1 what front ends match well
I do have a JL F113 sub that I sometimes turn on for movies. Thinking of selling it as i don't think even then it adds too much. Tritons bass is very tight and deep after the passive radiators break in. Give them 60-100 hours before making any opi...

Thanks Scott. Let me know how that new Sony works out. That's one I have been eyeing. 
record out on integrated amp
Thanks for the responses.I am satisfied with my system but always wanting to try something different. I switch back and forth between my Cayin A100T integrated with KT120s and my Cayin 265ai class a integrated. I think both sound very good but dif... 
Golden Ear Triton 1 Amplifier suggestions
I am asking for suggestions about what would pair great with the speakers. If there was a dealer within a reasonable distance I would ask them for an in home demo. If I liked it enough I would buy it. Pretty standard practice for pricey electronic...

Thanks I'll check that out. 
Cayin 265ai
Got it home last night and sounded terrible right off. 20 minutes later sounded ehh. 2 hours later and almost too hot to touch and sounds fantastic. Drove the Ushers to the point where I was worrying about bothering the neighbors and no strain wha... 
Focal diablo Utopias in large room?
Is it a carpeted room? If it is hardwood or similar they make little hockey puck looking deals made of some kind of plastic composite that go under your spikes. You can slide them very easily without damaging the floor. If not you could make up so... 
Cayin 265ai
Yeah maybe I'll pick one up this week. I guess if I don't like it I could probably turn a small profit on it when I return to the US. Now also looking at the H-80a integrated which I can pick up new for about $1400 but the initial investment of $6... 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
Kef reference series 2. Really fast and dynamic. I have 201/2 mated with jlf113 sub. Sounds killer. I have owned usher Be718, dynaudio focus 140, paradigm s2 v3, focal electra 1008, in the past few years and last month had Dynaudio C1 in my house ...
