Cayin TA-30 thoughts...
Jdcrox, I am curious, how well do you feel the Cayin drives the Europas? Isn't it 30 watts? Can you tell me a little about the type of music and volume you are enjoying? Also, what size room? Thanks, Scott. 
Ayre V5X, Sim Moon W5 vs. BC-28.
Loudand- Thanks for the recap. Good info on tube rolling there. Also I blew two tweeters here with the C370,both in the right speaker. This with 120 watts Nad. I thought it was too little power (clipping) that blows tweeters. First I've heard of t...

Loudandclear, Thanks for the response. I am puzzled about your statement that the BC has the worst of both SS and tubes. What would that be? Thanks, Scott. 
Edge M series amps, how good are they?
Drtmth58, Thank you, that is very helpful. I will consider your remarks before making any purchase. Thanks again, Scott. 
What transport for my Birdland DAC?
Tfkaudio, Hey, thanks for the tip on the Theta Jade. I love it! I've been playing it for 3-4 days now and I can only say the sound is stunning. So much info was getting lost or muddled up with the Nad. Amazing difference. Yes I know it costs 8 tim... 
What transport for my Birdland DAC?
Tfkaudio, Thanks for the info. I just bought one of the Jades. Good to know the age as the seller thought maybe 5 years or so. Sould be here in a week or less. Will let you know what I think. Thanks, Scott. 
What transport for my Birdland DAC?
Tfkaudio, Maybe I will take a shot at the Theta Jade after all. Can you tell me, is the company still servicing their older products? Just in case. Do you know how old the Jade is? Of course I will ask the owner too. Thanks, Scott.

Bombaywalla, Thanks for your input and link. I will just say I see a little clearer now and leave it at that. 
What transport for my Birdland DAC?
Tjkaudio, I like the Birdland very much. I especially like using it straight into the main amp of the Nad C370. This is startlingly clear and I have not missed the dynamics that others have cited as lost in this mode. Of course the Nad has a less ...

Audioengr, Okay, thank you for the post but, this is at least the third time I have seen you post with a cryptic, "nothing can beat this whatever modded". What gives man? Are you promoting your own mods or others? Please come forward with the det... 
What transport for my Birdland DAC?
Dubzilla, Actually next I have StarSound products on the way (hello Warren). Audio points for the Dac to replace the gummy bearlike Panda feet that came with the Birdland. Also the very thin almost waferlike points for between the spkeakers and st...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will check into those options and do some research on others as well. Thanks again for your input. Scott 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
Great thread! I was just about to open it up myself. I have had my Europas for almost a year now and I have decided to take the upgrade path suggested by Roy. That would be because I am in Hi Fi Nowhereland here. I have gone with Audio magic IC's... 
I need help from GMA Europa owners
It's good to see you on the 'Gon again Roy! Scott 
Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2
Cacophonix, I have had my Europas for a year now and they do get better with use. You will pick up bass response and more depth to the staging. Not as pretty as the K2's I agree but a good stand can help. I bought the four post design from Sound A...
