PS audio m1200
Just set up my M1200 monoblock amps.  I am smitten.  They are clean, clear, textured with tremendous spatial qualities.  I mean, they are barely warm and for sure not broken in but I love their sonic signature.

Thanks for posting.  Is he a repair shop limited to certain brands or does he attempt to repair all or most brands?  
Is It Worh Modding An Amp
I have had excellent results modding multiple amps, both solid state and tube.  Never once failed to get an improvement in sound.  What's the downside?  One downside is resale value.  However, I buy my equipment for my own sonic enjoyment so...  
Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid
Aric Audio Motherlode.  I liked it so much, I bought a second one for one of my other two channel systems.  No desire to look elsewhere.  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I am waiting on my second filter.  The one nice thing about this filter is that it does not favor any part of the frequency spectrum.  Really a noticeable impact on adding space, tonal density and impact.  
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
+1 Aric Audio Motherlode XL. I have used this combination in my refernce system and it sounded superb. 
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
I wish my auditory neurons were cardboard like Jason's.  Would have saved me a lot of money.  My system is highly resolving and can make grown men cry.  I have used multiple CD transports and though the differences are not always huge, none of the... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Straight out of the box cold, I agree wholeheartedly with "WOW".  Space, a more forward presentation, greater tonality and more presence.  So easy to hear this pleasing sonic change.  This Uber cheap filter had the same impact in my system as the ... 
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
I have the Aric Motherlode top end preamp.  Also have the Audio GD 10 tube preamp as well in one of my ancillary two channel systems.  I second the endorsement of both.  Aric Audio is a USA small business.  Audio GD is Chinese made and imported by... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Well, thanks to Ozzy, my order is in!  Another damn tweak...  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I am tempted to pick up a pair Caldans.  I dealt with Clayton previously when I purchased a pair of Spatial X5s.  He is a first rate guy.  My suspicion is that any communication lapses have zero to do with any shady intent.  Just gotta figure out ... 
Space Tech Lab super rectifier
Not sure what the issue with this excellent product is?  I have the model just below the top of the line model and I can unequivocally state that this device works superbly rendering a wider deeper soundstage, greater air and just more dynamic rea... 
Fuse for Parasound JC 1 monoblock
@glennewdick but think of those enhanced sonics you would end up with???  
Solid state amp vs tube amps
There are differences that are more easily detected, as stated above, the more resolving your system is.  In your system u have to figure out which general amplifier type u like better.  Complicating matters is that within an amplifier type there ... 
Would the 300W CJ ART 300 Monoblocks be too much for my Avalon Ascendants?
Two amps that I recently purchased are stellar.  The PSAudio BHK 300 hybrid monoblcks and the Atma-Sphere 100 wpc class d monoblocks.  Just in case u are open to suggestions....
