Can the same adapter be used with the havana?  
Avalon Eidolon Vision
Where does the diamond fit in the mix? Avalon has a remedy for the black goo. It’s something that you can easily install yourself.

Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's

Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
I had the stereo AHB2 with the KEFs and I was unimpressed. I think the amp is flat and without color (compared to Ayre and AGT). Also Pass A25 was much meatier.   
Dedicated circuits
I would like to hear peoples recommendations on duplex receptacles, compatible with isolated ground circuits.
