Nordost QKORE
Same here. Bought the qkore then within weeks the premium wires were introduced. Even my dealer was a bit perturbed as he had purchased one also with the basic wires.  I have since upgraded to two premium wires.  Also, run two of 4 premium wires t... 
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
ah @ps please enlighten w us with your erudite understanding and humor that few if any can understand. I am clearly lost in the humor you refer to. Your recent post: “Cults and their members are where one finds them. This is simply a general obse...

Wow, you all that seem to be celebrating are real class acts.   
What are your opinions of Sim Audio amplifiers?
Agreed. Thanks for weighing in Costa.Personally, I have found Simaudio’s level of customer service exemplary and enjoy their components immensely. I have owned the 780d DAC, the 740p and 850p preamps and the 870a stereo amp and 860a v2 monos. I be... 
Wow, $10k+ cables
@rspyder. Your experience switching from O1 ics to O2 matches my own. You said it much better than I could.

Congrats and enjoy! 
Thoughts on these speaker brands and models
I can second the H2.2s and have had success pairing them with other amps than mentioned. I do think room size, listening preferences etc etc of course are important.

New YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 Loudspeakers // Best Kept Secret ?!
Not sure where this thread is headed but I can vouch that the Hailey 2.2 is a remarkable speaker in my experience/ownership that has seemingly endless headroom as one improves the components, cabling etc feeding it.  A speaker that someone can bui... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
Running the Hailey 2.2s with mono 860a v2s now which has made me contemplate no longer needing my sub to complement. Plenty of layered, quick and impactful bass. at least for my tastes... 
Higher End DACs
Difficult to overstate the improvement in sound quality of the Extreme - as a server or streamer. I debated for awhile whether to invest in a higher end DAC or the Extreme with my current ‘mid priced’ DAC. I am glad I went with the latter. Most si... 
Yg carmel 2 owners
hi @smodtactical,I owned the Carmel 2s for about 3 years and absolutely loved them. My prior room was about 13 x 15.5 x 9 and they were a perfect fit, for me. I did pair them quite easily with a REL sub and then later with a JL Fathom 112v2. As me... 
Higher End DACs
ufguy73 thanks for starting this really interesting threadI believe two pages ago you were thinking in the $15k range for DAC, if still so, have you considered the Simaudio 780d v2?  It handles virtually all formats including MQA and does have a s... 
Looking for the Best &10K-20K Retail S/S 250 WPC Or Above Class A/B Amplifier
Hi blumartini, can you audition Simaudio? The 860a v2 retailing at $18k has replaced all their upper end stereo amps. I have not heard it but can vouch for the 870a - magnificent. 
Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs
Dual balanced XLRs on the Simaudio 850p. I use them both, but one set for sub.  Keep us posted on your decision making!
