| Which SS amp does sound the most warm of all? I went from a Rogue 120 Magnum to my Plinius SA100 MKIII and preferred the Plinius overall, very warm and extended and the music seems lit from within, very intimate and tonally correct. | |
| What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes? Jrwr7I can hardly tell these are box speakers, sometimes I THINK I can tell it is a serapate tweeter and sometimes I THINK I can hear the woofer going a little slower but the bottom line is the Trentes involve you in the music to a great extent, m... | |
| Maggie 1.6QR amplification questions Innersound ESL or Plinius 8200PThe Innersound is very dynamic and detailed and the Plinius would be warmer and beautiful tone | |

| Album which you have listened to most? I have to break the rules and add oneJoe Zawinal - The Rise & Fall of the Third StreamI think anything this man touches is magic (including Weather Report) and this is my current favorite, ever evolving and tuneful, very tasteful | |

| What's your favorite Patricia Barber album? I agree with Cafe Blue, I think it is the easiest to listen to as well. I find her other albums (except for Verse which I have not heard) have a quality which is almost tense in their presentation, almost too studio perfect, maybe it is her singin... | |

When I doubled the speaker cable run to my car speakers and there was twice as much bass back in 1980also...When I replaced my Kimber 8TC with Nordost Blue Heaven and noticed much more nuance and detail, though noticed the thin midrange later and ... | |
| Plinius or YBA? I own the Plinius 8200 MKII integrated and I really like it however I feel it is slightly warm in character and so are the AZ cables as the Jupiter may well be, so you may want to consider if it would be too warm for your tastes.I do not want to d... | |
