Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K
I guess you have to cut it off somewhere but there are so many integrated amps out that worth considering. As mentioned the Ayre is a great one. I would also add the Krell s300-i, the Creek Destiny and the Simaudio i5.3. These are all top notch an... 
Isolation platforms for turntables
I agree that you should not have all that gear between the speakers if possible. A lot of times it's not possible though and you have to work with what you've got. It's quite amazing how much difference you can hear though when you move your racks... 
Dynaudio Focus 110.....Integrated amp????
Creek Destiny and Simaudio i5.3 sounded great with the Dynaudios I tried them with. I have not listened to my Krell s300-i with my Dynaudios but I would guess that would be a good match as well. I think the Simaudio and Dynaudio had a pretty great... 
New Quickview Feature: Huh?
Haha they deleted our posts. 
Suggestions for New/Used amp under $3500
Interesting price range to be looking in. It will also be interesting if you can do better than the CIA amps. I hope you can keep us posted on how things work out. I've always wonder how amps like the Odyssey or Emotiva would sound. I had the VS V... 
Recommendation for Integrated Amp w/ Big Sound
I'd say one of the best you can find in that price range would be the Creek 5350SE. Almost as good as a Creek Destiny. If you could jump up and you are looking for big and bold then the Krell s300i would definitely fit the bill. I recently got one... 
Advice on monitor/bookshelves under $2,000
Personally if I were you I would look for a better amp. I'm not surprised you didn't like the B&W with that amp. No matter how good of speaker you get it won't produce magic driven by a mid grade surround receiver. I'm not a theatre guy but if... 
what cables for Krell 300i and Revel M20 suggest
I got the Krell integrated. Holy crap what a huge upgrade from the Creek 4330 I had hooked up temporary. I cannot believe how much better this things sounds. This is my first Krell. I cannot understand what all the Krell hating is all about there ...

what cables for Krell 300i and Revel M20 suggest
I ended up grabbing a set of Grover Huffman speaker cables I saw listed. I have those in my main rig and they are super value cables. Chayro, I might just try the cheap blue jeans cable. I think it would be a good point of reference for me. I've h... 
Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter
I'd get the creek destiny if you could find one. 
Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice
I would guess it probably has to do with your speaker placement over anything else. That is really good gear you have there. Your source is probably the weak link if you have one. Acoustic Zen Silver ref is a good cable. It's not the problem at le... 
24/192 Music Downloads and why they make no sense
I don't care that much about what someone can measure and say that things can't possibly sound good because that is what the measurements say. We've been through this a million times before, just look at the cable debates for proof. It seems that ... 
Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
The destiny had great bass with the M20s just a little looser than the sim. I would have to play it loud I mean not ear splitting but loud anything louder and you'd have to shout to hear someone talking over the music. The destiny is a very magica... 
PS Audio PWD run directly or use a preamp
I just spent a few days going back and forth with and without an Innersound ref preamp vs ps audio PWDAC II direct to Innersound DPR ref 500 amp. My conclusion. It sounds better with the preamp. It's a little more transparent without but the pream...
