Thank you all for your suggestions.
I'll be listening to the gear mentioned if and when I get the chance.
As for my gear I currently have
1) NHT 2.9 speakers
2) Arcam Alpha 9 cd player
3) Transparent Ultra RCA's, Transparent PowerBank Ultra line conditioner, 3 Transparent Reference Power Link power cords, Transparent Ultra speaker cables.
4) 2 Dedicated Circuits w/independant grounds and fuses instead of circuit breakers. And 2 FIM receptacles, one for feeding the amp and one for feeding the line conditioner.
5) And I am currently using an Acurus A200 amp and an Acurus RL-11 preamp.
Although I was much happier with this Acurus setup than my previous Adcom, I was wanting something more than the budget amp sound.
I found out from a conversation with Mondial Designs
( the makers of Acurus ) that before NHT loudspeakers sold to Recoton, that they recommended Acurus and Aragon
( Mondial Designs products ) for their speakers.
I was also told that it would be a VAST IMPROVEMENT over the Acurus to use an Aragon 8008BB amp an Aragon 28K preamp even though Acurus is good too. They also said that the Aragon 8008BB was an amp that would never need to be replaced.
Would this be a good amp also compared to the other ones mentioned above??? I would tend to go with what NHT recomends since they made my speakers.
Thanks again for all your suggestions.
