Some of my favorites (besides the ones listed above):1- Bryston Po... | |

| Has anyone heard a DNA-1 with the Gravity Base upgrade? McCormack DNA-1 or (better) DNA-1 Plus - yesPillartech Gravity Base - why? Do you really think it's going to make a substantial difference?My advice: buy a nice piece of end-grain maple butcher block to fit under the amp and use the rest of the b... | |
