This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.


I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

@audiotroy - you and I had a rather lengthy conversation about gear last year.  It was clear you were and still are a HUGE proponent of T+A gear. 
Given your level of confidence that it will outperform virtually 90% of the brands discussed on this forum, why would you not make the investment of having a in-house demo program for those who cannot travel to your store? 

Based on your statements on this and many other threads on this forum, it would appear as if an in-house demo program would be a very low risk, high reward proposition for you if the gear is truly as good as you say it is. I am sure there would be many on this forum who would be happy to pay for shipping charges (worse case scenario) in exchange for the ability to audition the gear in their home environment.  Quite frankly, I don't see a downside to this and in fact, your T+A sales would increase exponentially assuming the gear is as good as you claim it to be.

A dealer can generate business simply by invading a free forum with self promotion … I consider that to be an unethical and somewhat slimy commercial activity designed to promote a business. Period. Others may disagree…and I don't need to "report it to the moderators" as I can state my case just fine
Of course you're entitled to you opinion, but the rules of the forum allow dealer participation, so I don't consider them being here "slimy" at all. I think what is much more troublesome are some of the posters here who do not appear to be dealers, but who consistently promote their own agenda, such as their frequent claims of "snake oil," demands for data and belief that everything sounds the same. Those are the posters who are not transparent.
Greginnh, actually that is a great idea.

So far no one has asked for an in home demo believe it or not.

We have the separates on display later this year we will get an HV and R series integrated on display.

We did have the 2500r in for a week and it was amazing.

As per T plus A being better than 90 percent of the stuff out there never said that.

It is so special because it hits all the bases musicality with resoloution. Super build quality with great features these ars things we value.

It is in that same level of gear as Soloution, Burmester, CH and others.

If we are heading to your area we would be delighted to bring some over to you.

As per Plinius good stuff sold it for years we had an SA 103 it is not in the same class as a T plus A which is like the Devialet in terms of speed & clarity but with much greater midrange and superior musicality.

If the OP has a Devialet D400 an $18k 400 watt mono which we also sold, he kind of needs to move into a similar level of product.
