Advice for a choice
I have the Marantz ND8006 CD/streamer and it plays beautifully. I also purchased the PM 8006 integrated amp and enjoyed it for a few months but I needed more juice for my Dynaudio Special 40s---not very efficient. So I have a separate tube preamp ... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
I'm fairly new as well and since I don't have any decent audio stores near me, I've ordered equipment, listened to it, didn't like it and returned it. I did this several times until I found a really good dealer about 70 miles away and I finally fo... 
Headphones for Modwright
@tooblue Thanks---I was looking at the Hifiman and the Audeze online. I'm hoping that maybe I can order both online somewhere and listen to both---then send one back with the return policy. The Focal Elegia is around on sale for $699 (reg $899). A... 
Headphones for Modwright
@big_greg Thanks for the good questions. So I'm going to be mostly alone with my system. However, I have a small DAC that I use with my MacBook and so I'll be listening to that as well. At most, I'll be about 6-7 ft away when listening in my stere... 
Considering Rogue Audio or P.S. Audio
How about a Luxman integrated? 
Recommend Amp and Preamp with Dynaudio Confidence 50
Hi---I have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s matched with a Modwright SWL 9.0SE and a Bel Canto REF500s. I'm using WyWires and the synergy is great! Good luck!

This was my very first audio fest experience and we had a great time. We started early on Saturday morning since we were staying in the hotel. I noticed that most of the 'early birds' were older folks but as the day went on, there were more younge... 
Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA
Hi---I heard Sanders amps recently at Capital AudioFest. I was really impressed so here's my question: I don't have electrostatic speakers so can they be used with my Dynaudio Special 40s? 
Time to buy a class D amp?
I have a Modwright tube preamp and Bel Canto amp----great sound, excellent synergy. Definitely check out Bel Canto. Good luck! 
Most annoying song, period.
Old town road! Such a horrible song. And just about any new 'Bro-country' song out there.

From tubes back to SS?
@wolf_garcia I've heard good things about the Schiit----even better at the price range too. I eventually ended up with the Modwright SWL 9.0 SE tube preamp to go with my Bel Canto amp. Beautiful sound---great synergy. I absolutley love it. And it'... 
From tubes back to SS?
@mrearl I finally got a tube preamp and so far I'm loving the sound with the SS amp. There definitely was a difference once I switched out my integrated. I finally get the whole 'tube' thing.  
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
My first Class D amp is a Bel Canto REF500S----my preamp is a Modwright and they have a great synergistic sound. Definitely check out Bel Canto. Good luck!
