Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1
Everest they chose to do convert DSD to PCM as part of their design. Not necessarily the best way to really play DSD and just because you do MQA doesnt' mean you can't play those files back at Quad Rate DSD we do exactly that on our $35k Light Ham... 
Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1
Ken, you should listen to the Bel Canto Black gear it does seem very interesting, personally we aren't so keen on very expensive amplifiers that digitize analog and don't play DSD but the overall reviews and features are excellent, we may contact ... 
Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2
The two speakers sound very similar, the Blade 1 is the bigger of the two and has a bigger overall image and more deep bass. Image wise the larger Blade is going to sound more like the big image you get from the Monitors Audio. Our demo room is ex... 
McIntosh MB 50
Just checked it out and it seems like a nice little DTS Play FI box, which is both good and bad, we sell the DTS Playfi products and the app is okay, and you must control the device with your phone or tablet I do believe playback stops if you are ... 
Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub
Usery the Micromega M100 is fantastic and it does have an ethernet port, and it sounds sublime I doubt you will find one that cheap however. The new Anthem STR integrated has a great built in dac, a powerful amplifer and room correction it is $4,5... 
Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
Sinewaveron, we both agree and disagree, we were former Hegel dealers and their products were excellent. Whether an amp is class A or Class A/B is just one of the factors in determining sound quality, amounts of feedback, feed forward, type of fee...

KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA?
D2girls  we just mentioned two examples of recommending product lines we dont carry.We carry close to 60 lines of gear based upon quality of sound, value for dollar, and technology.What we dont carry is also important in many cases we have tested ... 
Audioquest Niagara 7000 tested with Power Line Meter
I hate to be a negative nancy but we tested the Niagra 7000 and were not that impressed vs our reigning champ the Audio Magic Oracle.In our $150k Reference system the Niagra made the entire system sound noticablely more closed in and less musical ... 
KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA?
Pardon me D2girls, why the rancor directed against us? There have been numerous other posters who have talked with us who will blatently disagree with you.As a dealer with one of the largest collections of gear on the East Coast, of course we are ... 
Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2
David_Ten and YYzsantabarbarbara, yes the T+A gear does sound fantastic on the Blades, we have yet to find a speaker that the T+A gear doesn't sound suberb on.The T+A gear is very natural sounding, with good top to bottom performance, the top end ...

Trying to Decide on my next Purchase
The Innuous is way better sounding then the NAD in our tests a $3,500.00 Zenith MK II came quite close to the $15k Baetis Ref, however, their have been a score of improvements in the current Baetis that pushes that unit up even further in the refe... 
Trying to Decide on my next Purchase
Oldschool we sell a lot of music streamers, and the NAD is a good capable product but there are way better units out there. The NAD is great if you are interested in setting up a NAD Blue Sound streaming setup and also like the idea of having a ba... 
Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2
I agree with you on the sound of the Rowland being a bit on the warm side of neutral, almost never heard Rowland sound forward although it is possible with the Chord Dave which is a slightly forward hyper detailed piece.Overall with the Rowland ge...
