Personally I like Gold Note products but between your choices I would still go with the GN because it's an all in one unit. No need for extra interconnects or 3 ac cords so a cleaner experience. Sonically can't tell you which is better but just my thought.
Gold Note is-1000 or Elac Alchemy stack
Looking at upgrading my current electronics. I am considering the Gold Note IS-1000 and/or the Elac Alchemy stack - DDP-2 pre-amp/DAC, DPA-2 amp. and the PPA-2 phone pre-amp. I play vinyl, stream and even still play CD's and would like the ability to hook up to my TV. My current speakers are Mark & Daniel Ruby's, Tekton Lore's and Xavian Perla Exclusiva's. I am someone who holds onto his equipment for years and hopefully what I pick will work for many years. I am not an "audiophile" just a music lover. I was hoping someone could chime in with their thoughts vis-a-vis these two options. Thanks in advance
