You know nothing of what you speak. I don’t have a single pair of speaker lower than 97dB in the house.

SET maffia again lol.
Ok i ll help the best in amplification is solid state / FM acoustics. their higher balanced line up.
Relatively Cheap integrated SS amps have improved substantially in SQ .
My Hegel H590 has superb LS control and is very neutral the only amp ill switch it for is as said FMA

Its also very easy to use the SS integrated.
Some high end set ups look like a circus with all the cables / enhancers / bells and whistels.
One button to switch on the system and listen( incl remote control)

I played the A3cr again. I put a Fluke true RMS on the speaker outputs. I get .009 dc on right and 036 dc on left. Not sure what is tolerable.
Instead of getting anal, I just turned it on to a comfortable level and started my workout. It was nice. Every once in a while I would sit up and pay attention. It was a pleasant experience. Clean, full. Nothing unpleasant. My assumption was the volume was around 65 db with peaks in the very low 70s. Plenty of dynamics. Seemed to be a comfortable playback level. Fairly dynamic. Not the same level of natural and real as my tubes. Voices were nice. Instruments were good enough. There is a level of compressed and closed when compared to my tubes. But my tubes are wery natural, alive and realistic. Very fluid and free flowing. My baseline is very high. I am most likely just hearing what a $1400 new SS amp sounds like. Its not going to be a $20,000 tube amp. Especially a tube amp that wiped the floor on my Dartzeel on many levels. Not all. But enough I happily sold the Dartzeel to get the Blade.

Enhancers are not limited to SET. Show me an audiophile and I will show you filters, LPS, clocks, ground devices, emf voodoo eliminators and others Owe My God you have to have it or your stereo sucks.
In my appartment none of that BS .
The best system i ve ever heard also didnt use it .
When i will give a demonstration at the Brussels hifi show 8 9 november this year if all goes well it will have none of that.
Just good speakers a good neutral amp and ...... analogue tape for the best SQ

Lol you really think i m a fool.
100 - 250 euros max .
I do like pure copper connectors
The only 2 companies who sell expensive cables and deliver are Wadax and FMA
@andromedaaudio
Do you really cable up with close to a quarter million $$?
I like copper too. I sure wish I could find a unplated copper duplex.
I think there are good cables for say $10k complete system. Power to speaker and everything inbetween.

Its not the cables that make the diff. its the gear they design .
FM acoustics lets you hear the artists intent (in a way its priceless ) , i have never heard that before of audio gear.
Regarding wadax i was talking about the Akasha cable as i think the REF dac is quit a bit better then the Studio player .
FMA has their own LS cable connectors at the back of the power amp , so you have to buy their Force line LS cables as well ,
Brad is very much like that , best of best in his room at home , brands he represents…
When his guys do class D , it will be best of best over SET
Right. I know nothing of what I speak. Except that for example you also advocate SETs for Wilsons, here (#118):
I know this is an age old debate, but I need a technical explanation why one would choose tubes over solid state
I listened to the "tubes rule" crowd and had a tube preamp to go with my Boulder SS amp for 10 years. I learned that the tubes actually last half the claimed hours before the sound degrades, then bad sound for months. Five years ago switched to a Boulder preamp that sounded better and there...

And you also have used SETs on Apogees (#226 here);
Oh my, oh my - Aries Cerat Helene DAC
I can't stay silent - today we received Helene DAC, "baby" DAC from Aries Cerat. What a baby, what a beauty. From the very fist second the sound was sublime, digital rarely gets better than this - in form of Kassandra DAC only probably. I am not saying this lightly, just compare Helene to all...
