Analog Delight
It has taken me six years, and lots of wasted time and money, to put together a system that not only exemplifies all ofthe audiophile qualities every system should have, but also one which has that which is so hard to obtain: an emotionally engaging system, where the equipment disappears, and you are lost in the beauty of the music To achieve this level of sonic purity, I have gone through several amps, preamps, speakers, CD players,tone-arms, cartridges etc. In other words, I wasted thousands of dollars trying to piece together a system that was musical, and you know what? I loved every minute of the process. My many failures taught me how to use my ears to evaluate components, instead of doing what so many audiophiles do: listening to salesmen, reviews, or using the brand name or the price as their guide. Today, my greatest pleasure is sharing the knowledge I worked so hard to obtain with others. There is nothing more satisfying then this-- well, other then listening to my system! :)

Darren,

Yeah Bea's opinion is they should go right in the wall. I A/B/A'ed the amps with the Hydra and the wall and they sounded better with the Hydra. Really the reason is that plugging into the Hydra is like plugging into the wall. Just with passive filtering like their patented Fi-Si compound. Also I am using a pair of Shunyata Pythons on the amps for power cords. Once they broke in all I can say is WOW.

Have you ever considered using the Big Rocks for your amps? I use them and they are inexpensive by audiophile terms(about $200 each).

What do you have your turntable on right now? I had a custom rack built for mine.
