Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7

@thieliste  You are welcome.

When I compared the Ypsilon Phaethon to the T+A PA 3100 HV, I really liked the Ypsilon integrated amp. Quite good, but different. I would have had to swap in tubes (not many choices) and possibly change cabling and (perhaps) other components to deliver the synergy and performance I want.

Essentially, I was contemplating bringing it to where the T+A already was (within my system)...and this finalized my choice.

Recently, a speaker cable change and a new power conditioner have made a Significant difference in how the Lyric Audio Ti140 Mk2 integrated amp and Pass Separates are performing. Had I THIS level of performance with the Pass gear and then with the Lyric, I probably would have stopped there. The Lyric Audio amp performance is especially remarkable.

I encourage you to try out different amplification components, realizing that system synergies are so important. All the best.

Anyone familiar with the Audionet Watt Integrated ?How does it compare to the T+A 3100 HV ?

The Hegel room at RMAF a number of years ago had 3.7s in it. I thought the combo sounded great. I had 2.4s at the time and it made me jealous. The Thiel room with the new (then) 2.7s, not so much.

David Ten as a T plus A dealer the same comments also apply to their gear.

You may not be getting the PA 3100 to sound its best either.

We run our gear with Audio Magic power conditioners, Enklein cables with an Isotek syncro power cable on the Audio Magic the combo sounds amazing.

@audiotroy  Dave, can you explain what you mean by "the same comments also apply to their gear."  Thanks.

The T+A amp just went in system Tuesday afternoon, and is going through break in...I will report back (via another thread) on my findings after having about two weeks on the new amp.
