Wyred SX 1000r mono's sound great on Maggie. 1200 wpc into 4 ohm, 2000 damp factor. Full meaty sound with great stage. 
Class D Technology
The new Wyred  SX 1000R mono's sound great. They replaced the great Vitus RI 100, 13k retail. 6moons review pretty much on. Nothing beats big power if it is decent. 
I asking for suggestions in choosing a pre-amp [that won't "break the bank".
Thoebe 2. I have it with new SX 1000r mono's. Great match. Can get it with dac and phono also. This is my second one. Beautiful remote for $175 extra. Remember Wyred makes both products. 
Scansonic mb serie
Just set up MB 6 with Vitus RI 100. Owned most speakers up to 80k. MB 6 one of the best. Bass little light but they are new and room 35X25. No speakers, just music. Plus great focus and image. 10k retail a total steal. Vitus best solid state I hav... 
Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier
Thoebe 2. Owned everything, this is the best under 10k. Great phono, dac is good, not as good as my Exogal Comet plus. Comet one of the best dacs in the world. Watch for great reviews on Thoebe. 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
Told you they are very good. Another are new Ampzilla. Had mono's, just great. Just bought Son of Ampzilla mk2. Make my Quad 2805 sound beautiful. $3500 retail just a steal. 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
I owned them. Very good sound. No noise turn on or off. Beautiful stage. No SS hash. They were sold for 5k pair at the end, great bargain. 
Opinions on Rowland 302 vs musical fidelity m8 700
M8 700 mono's on sale for $5995 pair Music Direct. Good amps for that money. Had them on Sasha, nice. 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
McCormack DNA 750 mono's. Owned everything. These sound like 30k. Never know in this game. 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
Owned everything under 80k. 3 pair of 40.1, getting 40.2. They are magic. Have to own them, demo won't do it. Listen to most speakers and you get itchy, time to go. 40.1 you sit there and sit there waiting for the next song. 2 hours go past, your ... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
Owned two. It's not very good. Reviews mean nothing. Owned most everything, lot of it is no good. Still a lot of fun chasing that magic system. Sick of people sticking up for things just because they bought it. 
Is new Sony TA-A1ES ultimate made affordable ?
Just put one on my new Sonus Faber Elipsa, 22k speakers. Sounds like Luxman 550 and 590 I owned. Hard to believe. Beautiful volume control and binding posts. Small company made this it would be 8k. Beautiful piece. Runs warm like real class A. No ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Give it up. I had 2 DS dacs, very average. $3000 and falling all over. So what, that's the game of high end audio. Just bought North Star Supremo, great sounding dac. Give me two weeks, but I think this one is different. I also had Bricasti fully ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
See my post 2-10-15. Told you PS was all hype. I buy everything wholesale and try it. So my pride of purchase does not get in the way of the truth. The chase is the big fun in this hobby anyway. After the music, of course. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Had them both. Not close. M1 kills it. I had two DS, thought first one a lemon. So bought another one with latest updates. Little better. Both made a lot of noise. Measure bad. I don't get the hype. Running in 50k system.
