Boulder 2160 vs Dan D'Agostino S250MxV
I’m looking at these 2 amps as well and will be interested to see what you choose and why. Heard great things about both amps. I lean toward the D’Agostino personally,  it really draws me in with texture, tone and other nuances. Boulder seems more... 
Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage
I owned Klyne for many years in the past,  then I moved to tubes then when coming back to SS I discovered Rowland was similar in many respects to the Klyne gear.  I’d recommend you check it out.   
Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V
@chauncey Ok so I own the Alexx Vs and I’ll tell they are truly amazing. The Alexia V is going to be similar just a little smaller scale. The D’Agostino s250 would be an amazing combo. Of course your source and preamp would have to be considered.... 
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
Ok so $40k sounds better in what system. Everything in the system comes into play. Setup, synergy between components, and room all are factors here. You can’t just pick an amp and drop it in. Most of the time within the same company the more expen... 
THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI
So I got with Emron of DCS and he spent about 30mins on the phone walking me through all the setting on my Rossini Apex and explained the function of each. Then he walked me through changing settings to what he thought was best. So organic now wit...

THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI
Craig,   So how long of a break in do you think is to be expected? Do you prefer the upgrade over the original in every way?

Calling All Ex - Shindo Preamp Owners
I owned the Messeto then later the Vosne-Romanee. I wound up moving to an all Jadis system. Back then, 15 years ago, there were very few dealers And they were so finicky in how they did business, also the company being so small and not letting you... 
THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI
I’m getting my Rossini  done in a week I will give you my opinion as soon as it gets here. I hate bright or harsh so I wouldn’t send it in if I thought that would be the result. It would be nice to hear any one’s personal experience with this.   
Wilson Alexia 2
Thanks guys I have moved up the food chain now to the Wilson Alexx V. Now my search is for this one but the synergy will be similar. If any of you know much about this one I’m open

Audio research reference 10 tube replacement
Yes I can’t believe that remote. My Sony dvd remote is built better. What were they thinking. Money I’m sure. Big mistake on their part. So how much is the new remote if you want to buy one for your Ref 6SE?  Anyone know?  
Spectral DMC 20 II vs DMC 30 SV II
