Review: Dali Euphonia MS4 Speaker
"Wow, great review. And guess what? There's a pair for sale on Audiogon right now, but wait...they're yours. Kinda sleazy, don't you think?"Dude. He reviewed the speakers in 2003 and your comment was from 2011. Looks like he owned them 8-9 years. ...

Sim Audio Moon P-5
old thread, but if anyone is still wondering ........... I had the P5LE with separate power supply. One of the most detailed pre's I have listened to, and the soundstage was quite impressive as well. 
Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou
When I bought my e.One DAC 2.5 3 months ago, I asked a salesperson at Audio Vision SF which Bel Canto converter he would recommend as an upgrade for the 2.5's USB input, he said "the mLink will give you the most bang for your buck". My interpretat... 
Simaudio Moon w5.3se
thx winoguy17. I saw the same ad you are talking about, and fantasized about purchasing. I have used Sim in the past, and their LE/SE version tend to be outstanding performers. And I have a suggestion winoguy: to break in the amp more quickly to a...

How about now? Anyone out there using this Sim DAC who can offer an opinion? 
Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated
old thread, but what the heck.You can get a good BAT tubed pre for around $2k, and a used Simaudio/Bryston/Krell SS amp for another $2k used, for total of $4k. And these are 2013 prices!I have been VERY happy with a BAT VK-300x SE that I have used... 
Simaudio 380D
Well, now these units have apparently started shipping. I am also curious about the sound, since they are incorporating the trendy Sablre 32 bit DACs, but 8 DACs per channel! As a fan of Sim, can't wait to hear it, and maybe upgrade to it in the f... 
Synergy between shunyata and Richard Gray
3.5 years later......I've never heard anyone recommend plugging a RGPC product into a Shunyata Hydra product, vice-versa is the norm.I have my CDP plugged into my Hydra 2, which is plugged into my 400 Pro, which is plugged into my Pole Pig. The Pi... 
Help on choosing a amp for Dali Helikon 400 mk1
Marcval, I agree that sometimes the upper end can get bright (even with my BAT 300SE: tube pre and SS amp), but was able to tone it down with cable choices, mostly just the interconnects. Ironically, the brightness also increased when I invested i... 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
I know you said you werent into tubes, b/c you "want to crank it up", but I would second and third the BAT 300SE integrated which I have in my own system. 6h30 tube preamp with SS amp = 150 powerfull watts. I am running 4 ohm Dali Helicon 400s wit... 
Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre
I second the Simaudio I-7, a robust 150 wpc. And this is Sim gear, so the output is much more than your average 150 wpc. I also second the BAT 300x SE, b/c that is what I currently use, and am totally impressed with the exquisite fluidity back wit... 
Help on choosing a amp for Dali Helikon 400 mk1
Ive had a pair of Helicon 400s for almost a couple years now. I have used a Simaudio Equinox SE CDP with a BAT 300x SE (6H30 tubes and BAT-PAK) with excellent results. I tried the pre-out of the 300x SE with a VK 220 w/BAT-PAK (125 wpc) and wasnt ... 
BAT VK 300 SE Integrated as a Preamp?
I was thinking the same thing: using the pre-out of my 300 SE. I tried this with a BAT VK 220 w/BAT PACK. Although the 300 SE touts a 150 wpc with the BAT PACK and the 220 has 125 wpc with BAT PACK, the 220 was noticeably less powerful; the 25 wpc...
