Worlds best DAC
I add my contribution indicating the TOTALDAC D1 as the best (compared to BADA, Dcs Scarlatti and Weiss 202)

Hi Zephir24069, I see in your great system the presence of Shakti Hallograph's. I am looking for these such kind of "extreme esoteric" gears. May I know what kind of difference you hear by introducing Shakti items on your system? 
comparison between SS Spectral and LAMM tube amp
Thank's all.It is not so easy here test combos like Wavestream Kinetics V8 mono blocks, for example.I heard different SS amplifications like Boulder, FM, Spectral, Soulution, but never heard with Tube gears. It seams which in Europe they (we) pref...

I heard significant feedback about CAT Amplifiers/Avalon combo. Not about Lamm/Avalon combo.

just few words about Eidolon/Spectral/MIT/Elrod PC's. The combo is fantastic!!! Spectrals powered by Elrod Power Cords and Eidolon are the perfect union. I cannot imagine how tube gears could give the same "sense of true".

thank's all,I completely changed the subject. I sold the Kharma and just purchased a pair of Avalon Eidolon which I found to be sweeter and less analytical of Kharma. I am waiting for delivery. But the question is still alive, the tube amp will be...

I was not referring to SET amplifier, I was referring to ML 1 or 1.1. Different option is to replace Kharma with Avalon Eidolon, which it seems to be more warm and not so analitic as Kharma are.

Lloydelee21, Thank's i am already registered on the Wathsbestforum.com, which I found, as well as this on Audiogon, really Serious and competent. I find that Spectral gears are very well built. I find the combo with the Kharma very balanced, espec...

I had a bit of time over the weekend to test and enjoy the Elrod Gold Statement PC.The sound of my system in general has become more deeper, natural, real, with great presence of details while maintaining and enlarging the third dimension. The pre...

Just arrived the Statement Gold.I insert it between the ac outlet and the distribution. First impression, (a couple of minutes only) more reality in every musical instrument. The mids are much more natural without the slightest hint of hardness. F...

I just added a Berkeley USB into the system. I know is another thread, but, wow, it's incredible.More about Elrod, I am so convinced which I just bought a Statement Gold PC. I am waiting for the shipment.I intend use it from the AC line to the dis... 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
I have not compared the two DACs, but as the owner of an Alpha with its USB interface (just arrived) I can say that the result is incredible. I am not quite in agreement with those who suggest a direct coupling with the power amplifier, in my case...

I added a third elrod cable (power to Berkeley DAC). I can confirm which, in my system, it seems that the interaction with the others Elrod's enhances the properties of a better soundstage and presence of instruments on the scene.

thanks Zmanastronomy. I see in your system as you bended the PC. I will try to carefully bend the cable. I was not sure to make the correct action with the risk of damage. I ordered a 20A to 15A plug in WOODOO adapter to fit the distributor input....

I received a second Elrod EPS 3 Signature. I will use it plugged to the distributor. I kindly ask to the Elrod's users, how you have solved the problem to bend the cable in order to fit the space around.
