| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se Hello Chris:I run a 30.6/31.5 currently and had the Wadia 270/27ix transport and dac a short time ago. IMHO the Levinson is far more musical.You will find that opinions on good digital blow every which way like the wind. Most audiophiles disregard... | |

| I'm FINALLY finished: new 2-channel system You'll be glad to be rid of all that HT crap.Hook yer DVD player up to the new rig, watch movies in stereo.I've heard the 275's, they're great, never heard the Tylers however read lots of good things. Sounds to me like you are on the right track.I... | |
| wilson watt puppy5 or genesis 501 The puppies will be far more in your face, while the Genesis will create a more ambient soundstage. The Wilsons will want a high-powered SS amplifier, while the Genesis with it's built-in bass amplifiers will respond very well to a good tube amp s... | |
| Shoot out between 2 preamps After having owned the GFP 750 twice, I can say I enjoy it's passive mode, however the active side can be bright.I have used this on a second system, and have since gone on to a Quicksilver Remote control line stage. This uses 2 6922 tubes, is rea... | |
| Upgrade from Genesis IM8200 speakers to ? If you like the Genesis sound, consider a pair of Genesis V's, or 500's, or 501's.My personal favorite is the V's, as these used a stout outboard amplifier for the woofers, unlike the onboard Class "D" plate amps of the later series.I looked at yo... | |
| trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD Having owned both the BAT VKD5 and VKD5SE I can say that both are quite musical and make a great addition to your system. I have not heard the Cary 303/300 however the Cary gear I have listened to is quite good also. You have a tough decision ahea... | |
| Advice for a tube newbie: McIntosh MC275 I like option 4. Having been through the HT thing, and always being disappointed with the quality of 2 channel sound, I went back. I run my DVD player's digital output through my DAC, and movies sound great. No need for all those speakers for an o... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs. Levinson 390S I just sold my 390S......but only 'cause I bought the 306/31.5 combo. IMHO, the 390S is the best single-box player I've heard. Take this with a grain of salt however as I like the Levinson house sound.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp? Ny friend had a pair of 3.2's. On my recommendation he bought a McIntosh 275 to drive them. Excellent synergy between these pieces.Be prepared to get a sub, those 3.2's don't go low at all.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ? I had the Wadia 270/27ix combo. I demo'd a Levinson 389S and immediately sold the Wadia combo. Now the 390S is in a second system and I have the Levinson 30.6 dac, and I use my Sony SCD-777ES as a transport.To me, the Wadia house sound is grainy a... | |
| Question on a Levinson 27.5 amp I have a Levinson ML-3 amp in a second system. This is more ancient than your 27.5. I listen to this system about once a month. The ML-3 just goes and goes. I wouldn't worry, just enjoy.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Revel Salon and Mcintosh MC2000 Some years back a friend has Revel Gems and an MC2000.The Gems took all the MC2000 had, and it wasn't enough.To avoid disappointment with the Salons, opt for a high-power and high-current solid state amp. Believe me!Best,Paul :-) | |

| SACD player as transport or dedicated transport? I'm using a Sony SCD-777ES as a transport feeding a Levinson 30.6 dac........wonderful. In fact, it easily bested my friend's Levinson 31 transport he brought over to audition. Absolutely no comparison.Good luck in your search, however do not coun... |
