Viola Bravo Power
Has anyone compared the Viola Bravo Power to the stereo D'Agostino? Would the Viola or D'Agostino be a better fit with the TAD reference one's at high decibel levels.

Allen should chime in here. He heard the Viola on the TADs and mentioned it was great. Sounds like an amp after my own heart based on his quote below. I hope you don't mind Allen, but I can really sense your enthusiasm.
"But it was the Tads that hit all the right buttons with me: dynamic, transparent, warm, full sound. They were driven by Viola amplification with Emm Labs as a source."
To me, that's a perfect combo. I really need to hear Viola now.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Just got back online. Yep, those were my listening notes from the NY Audio show. I spent the most time in this room and the Kondo room. The sound was rich and unfatiguing, and I saw many heads moving to the music vs. analyzing the presentation (to me, that's a good sign).
I PM'd Joe yesterday saying I'm so jonesing for a pair of CR1s now! I'm in trouble!

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
