I really like reading about the technical details of the Dx.1 series design, but I start to fall asleep when anyone starts talk about cables. Like I said, I don't get any pleasure out of reading about cables costing more than automobiles. Audiophile cables are the most hyped, most overpriced component not just in high end audio but in all of consumer goods. Anyone with a high school diploma can make cables and charge silly money for them. I'm not criticizing Ansuz specifically, but audiophile cables in general.
Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
There seems to be consensus SS amps in general are better match for Raidho speakers than tube amps. I'm using 200 watt Bob Carver tube monoblock amps with my D2 to great effect, but I'm interested in getting a SS amp (less than 8k new or used). The Soluution, Constellation, etc are way too overpriced IMO. Any experiences with less costly offerings? I am looking into the new Yamaha top of the line integrated, AS3000, which is 7k retail. It's rated 100 watt at 8 ohm and 150 at 4 ohms and is built like a tank with substantial power supply (over 50 lbs). This is the way Yamaha used to build their top amps decades ago before they went cheap mass market.
