I suggest you listen to the Mola Mola Perca.
@laoman Thanks for the suggestion, I hear some good things about this Mola Mola's main engineer. This might be worth an audit....
I may have to look at more oddball less heard of names, i think....Maybe MSB, "Bakoon", Hegel H30, etc...as well. I've had the more common big names on loan, or atleast a older model at some point... Gryphon, Boulder, AR, etc and they haven't produced that extra detail than my current amps, it's about in the same ballpark.
Worst case...I could wait for some rich guy to sell me a Aavik P-880 for 30k. I could probably talk him into thinking that some other 200k miracle amp is what he needs and the Aavik is beneath him!
