Thank You for the follow up to my query. 20 year Battery life is a confident aspect.
Consider adding an Integrated amp to your system for testing with the Stromtank.

Did you re-calibrate those Transparent OPUS cables for Boulder/Focal playback?

2nd -- Stage III Concepts power cords. Excellent sound, integrates well with other brands (Audioquest Cardas).

As above- if one enjoys electric guitar and electric Bass music, then, solid-state power amp(s) are the way to go. Happy Listening!

Nice exchange of info here guys. Simaudio has come a long way for sure. No doubt that Pass Labs is the best in SS currently. Mate those amps w/ a Conrad Johnson tubed pre-amp and you will be musically rewarded!

At $10k or 65k there should not exist any listener fatigue? Happy Listening! |
I enjoy reading about your Audio adventures- whitecamaross
You are quite informative on these various brands of Power Amps. Do not forget to mention your associated gear, especially, cabling!
Happy Listening!
|
whitecamaross-
which brand(s) of cabling are you using?
|
Very nice! whitecamaross
I liked the Wireworld Electra7 power cord (PC). I have not spent any time w/ the interconnects (IC).
I use a Silver Starlight 5.2 HDMI cable in my video system. It is only bettered by the Platinum model.

Looking forward to the Cable shoot-out.
Happy Listening!

Certainly, a $5K power cord (PC) has its place. There must be total system synergy for it to pay-off (no pun). Every system does not require such high-cost cabling, however, some systems do. The choice is yours.
Happy Listening!
|
whitecamaross-
Thanks! for the updates to your system. I hope that you can find buyers so that you can move up the chain.
How do you like the Mark Levinson (ML) and Pass Labs (PL) combo?
Happy Listening!
|
Thanks! for sharing- whitecamaross
I have been waning to demo the ML No. 585 integrated amp. Many positive reviews out there. Some are still using the one before it- No. 383.
Happy Listening!
|
whitecamaross-
if you are considering Audio Research (ARC), look no further than the Ref5 SE model. Keep me posted as you audition pre-amp(s).
Happy Listening! |
Thanks! for the update- whitecamaross

Much Thanks! for the report(s) - whitecamaross
you are really cranking (no pun) out the power amp reviews. Feel free to give a shout out on your fave or local dealers/retailers.
Happy Listening! |
Thanks! for the update- whitecamaross.
|
Serious gear- whitecamaross
I look forward in reading about your shoot-out.
Happy Listening!
|
You are the man, whitecamaross.
I wanted to ask about your auditioning all of the amps- are you building a system? Improving upon the gear you already own? Happy Listening!
|
Thanks! for the update- whitecamaross. Happy Listening!
|
whitecamaross
where are you with reference Cabling? Happy Listening! |
I concur- whitecamaross
I did not like the Revel either. It could have been the dealer's room or less synergy w/ the gear used during demo. Happy Listening! |
Thanks! for sharing- whitecamaross
Keep auditioning and posting your impressions, thoughts. Happy Listening!

As always, very sound advice (no pun)- whitecamaross-
The pre-amp is the heart of any system and must be selected with great care. I look forward in reading about your continued shoot-out of power amps. Keep writing and posting!
Happy Listening!

Many Thanks! whitecamaross
please feel free to give a shout-out for your fave dealers/retailers. I know the state of Florida certainly has a few good ones.
Happy Listening!

That is an impressive list- ysound.
I, too, have not auditioned the "cubed" series from Bryston. On many, many occasions I have listened to the original ST and SST series. Never had a bad demo. Where did you demo the 28B3 ?
Happy Listening! |
kw6-
where did you demo the 4B3 amp?
Happy Listening!
|
Thank You! for the continued coverage- whitecamaross
I have always wanted to demo Plinius - can you suggest a dealer/retailer where I can get a taste? Happy Listening!
|
Thanks! for sharing- ysound. It must have been quite nice to own all of those amps concurrently for side-to-side comparing. Happy Listening!
|
Agreed, this hobby and lifestyle is a crazy, fun, journey. I would not have it any other way. Surprises at many turns as referenced by whitecamaross.

whitecamaross-
can you suggest a Plinius dealer/retailer ?
