I may have bought my last amp, the Wyred4Sound STI-500. I burned it in with a tuner which put well over 300 hours on it. Very holographic and transparent with a very low noise floor which brings out so many little nuances and inner detail that I'v...

If you can find one: Arcam Alpha 9 (with DCS ring dac)....around $800 used, was $1,600 new. The single best dollar for dollar audio component I've ever come across. 
Budget of $30K. Help me build a system
I've never had the pleasure of hearing Merlins but I do see a lot of Merlins in systems being driven by Joule Electra amps. Don't know if this helps, just my .02.
