Digital mag subscription and iPad
Edgejazz,I have an ipad and it is a nice device. It makes a pretty good reader and yes you can pinch to zoom. The device makes it easy to surf the web and read articles but does not supportflash so keep that in mind. I like to do light reading but... 
Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse
Westborn,I run my Super EIII's with a pair of Nuforce Ref 9 SEV3'swhich are fed by a Cary SLP-05. The system sounds terrific.I am of the opinion the speakers are not difficult to drive and would sound great with either good SS or Tube amps. It is ... 
Spectron vs Parasound vs Cary vs ?
Nuforce Ref 9SEV3's play very nice with the Cary Preamps. An lot of bang for the buck. A bit more than your budget new but I think worth the stretch. Nuforce also has a policy for an in home trial. Cheers! 
best pre-amp new or used for under $500?
Realremo,How about a used NAD pre? Not sure what models to look for thought. Cheers! 
best pre-amp new or used for under $500?
I would look toward NAD gear. Good sound for reasonable money. You could buy a 326 BEE for $499 and sell the Rotel as the NAD is an integrated amp. Very positive press on the product.

Is anyone with an MSB Dac using an outboard clock?
audiofun,I am using a CD player with the X-Port out option to feed the Power DAC. I do play to look into a music server but have spent my budget elsewhere this year. 
power cord or power conditioner?
I would have to say a good power conditioner for the reason that all of your components will benefit from the clean power. That said, if you are thinking about a PS audio ( I recently purchased this model) to get the best out of it you will have t... 
MSB DAC IV or dCS Paganini
Audiofun,Could you explain how to "carefully set up a Power DAC"?I do own one and am curious as to how to improve what I consider is excellent already. Thanks very much. 
AKG K702 vs AKG K701

Try better power cords, interconnects and vibration control (good set of footers).Cheers! 
Snell Type A/II or Type E/III - opinions wanted
Many years ago I owned a pair of AIII i and they were a great speaker. A couple of things to keep in mind, they really need to be bi-amped to get the best out of them and you will need a big room to get the full benefit from them. When set up corr...
