Darrylhifi, I've used an MIT Z II for 3 or 4 years with my ca200 with good results. I've tried others and prefer the mit - the difference over the stock cord is slightly deeper soundstage, better imaging, and a more relaxed presentation. I feel it simply enhances the "Classe" sound which I feel is exactly how you described it. I also have dedicated 20 amp lines.
PC that wont change my amp's personality ?
My amp is a Classe 301. The reason I like Classe is that when used properly , it provides a somewhat tube like sound from solid state. On my digital side I use a VD nite, which works very, very well. Ive tried the Nite on the amp. The benefits are it does turbo charge the amp , and does make it sound somewhat more like a "live" performance. I can understand why some people would like the VD Nite on their amp. The downside is The Classe loses its tube like personality, which was the reason for the Classe purchase in the first place. Budget is approx $400.00 used. Already have dedicated 20amp lines and Wattgate recepticles. Suggestions?
