I am also a proud owner of the Merrill Audio Veritas. I have said many times that the Veritas is one of a handful of amps, of any class, that lets you hear what is wrong or right in your system. It lets you know what is the weak link. It has allowed me to use components/cables that are like its self, pure in sound. No more using components/cables as tone controls. I have owned many amps, many highly regarded, over the years but this amp I truly find so satisfying.
I would like to pass along some tips/tweaks for both the Veritas and your system in general.
1) If you do not already use the optional Stillpoints Ultra SS vs the Mini I recommend that you do. The difference is not hard to hear and it is an improvement.
2) This one is very cheap and is amazing for the money. It also works in your whole system.
Ikea sells a bamboo cutting board (APTITLIG) for $15.00 that when used under the amps (or any other component) even with the Stillpoints improves the sound. This is the largest of this model.
I even use them under my B&W 802D speakers (with Stillpoints) with great results.
And Ikea has a very liberal return policy so it is a no brainier.
3) This next one made such an improvement, top to bottom, that I was floored by it. I did not expect it at all. I thought there might be a small improvement and one that would be hard to hear. It was not.
I highly recommend that you try the Synergistic Research RED Fuses in the Veritas. You will not be disappointed.
Unfortunately it entails sending the Veritas back to Merrill Audio so the Fuses can be installed because of warranty issues. But it is IMHO definitely worth it. You will not be sorry.
Now this is not just to be used on the Veritas but on any component in your system. And they come with a 30 day money back trial.
