I've had the Analysis Audio Amphitryons now for several months and what I'm experiencing in the my home can only be descibed as "PURE MUSICAL SATISFACTION." Amp: Rogue Audio Zeus dual mono Design. Triode mode 150wpc all the time is where the magic is. Drives the large panels quite nicely (I just replaced the Zeus with a pair of Manley Labs Neo-Classic 500 monoblocks, driving my speakers with 275wpc of KT-88 triode power. My speakers never sounded better), Preamp: Antique Sound Lab Flora (With latest mods it's hard to beat at any price for it's purity of sound. $3250 with upgraded tubes. The ASL Flora replaced a VTL 7.5 V1 and a BAT VK 51SE. AMAZING"), Digital: Exemplar Audio's (tube) Denon 3910 universal player (I have all of John Tucker's latest mods in this incredible machine. Really no need to spend more on digital), Interconnects: JPS Labs Superconductor-3 (Very hard to beat), Speaker cable: JPS Labs Superconductor-3 (Two runs per side. Very hard to beat at any price), Power cords: Bybee Technologies (Top-the-line $2000 each. Simply the best. They replace all Shunyata Anaconda Helix), Power conditioning: Bybee Technologies Pro Model (Replaced a Shunyata Hydra-8. Hard to beat), Tweaks: Gingko Cloud-10 isolation (Underneath CD player and Preamp. "The music just floats in the air." The Gingko's work!!!!). Going from solid state to tubed amplification is the single greatest sound improvement that I've ever made in my system. Mind-boggling midrange reproduction. Beautiful tonality from top-to-bottom, Deep, tight, dynamic, organic bass, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth highs, huge, deep soundstage, amazingly 3-dimensional and palpable soundstage, remarkably natural, transparent and detailed sound, music just oozes from a totally "Black" backround, totally involving musical reproduction. I've heard some great systems in my time that may move more air, but, none more totally musically satsfying. I'm extremely pleased with this system!!!!
