| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? I compard the DAC to the Museatex Bitstream. The Paradisea is very seductive and musical sounding. The Museatex Bitstream had way better details allowing you to really hear into the musical performance. I perfer the Bitstream that can be found for... | |
| Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts??? I only heard the early Nite II VD and owned the ELrod Sig 3 for a long time. Never found the Elrod "bright", never. The Nite II was thin sounding but very clear sounding. I preferred the Elrod Sig 3 to many power cords on my Pass Labs X-250 power ... | |

| Got the itch again "real bad" for tube mono blocks I was looking at the McIntosh 275s, 75 wpc stereo and then I could get a second amp later and switch them to mono. How do these amps compare to the others? | |
| Got the itch again "real bad" for tube mono blocks The Alon Vs are 87db, I am not sure that the AES can drive them. Carl at Nola recommended at least a 100 WPC tube amp like the ARC VT-100 when I spoke to him last. Thoughts? | |
