| To DAC or not to DAC? Any chance you live in NC? Sounds a lot like a local dealer I know of.There's only one way to know what you're missing... try a few. I'd recommend a highly regarded used one off this site. If you don't love it chances are you can sell it on and... | |
| ML 33h vs 33 vs A-50V on Mbl 101E I've heard the ML33 and the 33h, but not on MBL's unfortunately. The 33 was significantly better to my ears. Truly effortless.I don't have experience with the A-50V but if it boils down to the 33 and the 33h - go with the 33's.The numbers below ... | |
| Opinions PLEASE - Pass Labs XA-100.5 or X250.8 for Magico S5 MK II In my experience the XA's are a significant step up from the already excellent X series. I'd talk to Magico regarding power recommendations as well as Pass.If I had the chance to upgrade to the XA's I'd do it in a heartbeat. | |

| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? I've been to many shows and always very impressed with the Merlin's... I've heard them driven by Joule and Atmasphere and would not venture from those two brands based on what my ears told me.Good luck. | |

| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best Tidal by a wide margin. | |
| Cary SPL-05 or VTL TL 5.5 II First of all, nice system. Secondly, I don't think you could go wrong with either of the tube preamps you're considering.I owned the SLP-05 and it is a very special preamp IMO. I've spent time with the VTL and it too is very good. This is one o... | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound The Parasound Halo line is very very good equipment. My JC1's go toe to toe with the best of the best. |
