>> How did midrange (vocals especially) compare?The MK1 was slightly more transparent than the MK2 in the midrange, with the nod going to the MK1 for vocals. The two amps are extremely close in performance. The MK2 had more extension on top ... 
jeff rowland 501 & 201 vs. bel canto ref1000
After comparing the Bel Canto Ref 1000 mk1 and mk2 versions last weekend, the consensus was that the mk2 was a bit more extended in the treble, while the mk1 was a touch more transparent overall and more engaging. A minor caveat is the mk1 in this...

I can't affirm that there's a graininess to the highs... but, I will say that there is a very slight glazing in the midrange though that's noticeable in comparison to a tube amp I've heard in an A/B comparison.See you this Sunday Guido?

Which Sub Woofer is good for my 2 channel system
I just purchased a Martin Logan Depth for my 2-channel system recently. I chose the Depth after an exhausting search for the "right", musical subwoofer. I listened to subs from Velodyne, JM Lab, REL, Titan, VMPS, and Martin Logan's smaller Grotto.... 
Shanling CDT-100 Great or Bad ?
I'm rather familiar with the Shanling's sound (not modified), and find that it's a solid buy. Like most solid buys, you'd have to spend significantly more to justify spending more. It doesn't do anything annoying, which is good, and it's easy to l...
