Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I had my choices down to two integrated amps, I passed on the PASS INT 250 after hearing the T+A 2500R integrated. It just did everything better and looked better. Even though I really liked it,  I was able to trade the 2500R for their higher end ... 
Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice?
After 4 different power conditioners, I went with the High Fidelity MC-6 Hemisphere. No filterring, just  clean, clear, detailed & musical music with a very quiet background.  
Best MM?
Maestro 2 is really good, I traded up to the Charisma V2, even better, outstanding actually. Very happy with it, will definitely keep it for as long as it lasts.  
Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
I always wanted a PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated but bought a $20k solid state integrated a year and a half ago. That unit was in for a repair two months ago so I bought a PrimaLuna HP Dialogue to get me through the 2 months.  I was impressed, e... 
Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018
jh901, I completely agree with you on your four choices of integrated amps. From all I have heard, these are also my top 4. I bought the T+A. 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
I first bought the T+A 2500R integrated to use with my Wilson Audio Sasha’s. Worked well. That amp was flawless. I then decided I wanted to upgrade so I bought the T+A 3000HV integrated. I liked the amp so much, I changed my speakers to Wilson Aud... 
Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018
I spent a lot of time trying to decide on an integrated amp. First I was going to get the Pass INT 250 & was set on that. Then I was going to get the Gryphon Diablo 300. Liked both well. Then I heard the T+A PA 3000HV and bought the T+A. Absol... 
High fidelity REVEAL interconnects
I suggest getting a HF MC-6 hemisphere power conditioner & / or a couple MC-5’s (or / and the new  product they just came out with). As you add Reveal speaker cables or XLR cables or Reveal power cords, it just keeps getting better. I finally ... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
I will soon be using my MP3100HV with the new Antipodes CX. I decided on this for a change than getting an Aurender N10. Want to use Roon. T+A says an update will be available shortly to update the MP3100HV to be Roon Ready. Just updated Ethernet ... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Congratulations! I connect it through Ethernet. For me this sounds much better. Tidal sounds better through the MP3100HV than using Amarra with my MacBook with an AQ Diamond USB. It also sounded better through the MP3100HV than the Aurender A10, e... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Hi czuberoI use the PA 3000HV to power Wilson Audio Alexia’s. No problems here, sounds great. Can definitely put cracks in the walls if I wanted. As far as Tidal playback, it is so dynamic & detailed. Really impressive. Excellent recoded SACD’... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Hi czubero, the PDP3000 to me sounded slightly better than the MP 3100 for SACD & CD playback. Aside from slightly better CD playback, using it as a DAC, they both sounded similar to me.   I still prefer the MP 31000 and bought it instead. It ... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
T+A HV series, intregrateds and separates are both outstanding, Nagra also.  
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Scottr, I heard the BLU MK.2 Is really really good. I found out about this too late. I would already have one of them if I would of kept the DAVE.  
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Scott, I tried a T+A PDP 3000 CD/DAC in my system. SACD’s and CD’s NEVER sounded better. It was alive, crazy, you would forget to breathe when listening to it. It was the sound I wanted. I had problems with using the Aurender with it. I had to pow...
