MSB Discrete vs Premier
@eugene81 I agree with you on the discrete. I moved from bartok to the discrete Dac and found the move to be for the better. As far as upgrade policies go MSB actually has a great upgrade policy. They give you back 100% of retail towards the new u... 
Ethernet streaming
I have owned a few dacs with a built in streamer. The dCS Bartok was pretty good and I found that the Ethernet input was the best sounding input. I also ran this Dac directly into a Krell duo300xd to good results.    I have an MSB premier with th... 
Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp
I have not used the eversolo before. I would say that it depends on the output section of the Dac. I used to use a dCS Bartok straight into an amp and it was good. I have since moved to MSB w currently with the premier Dac and s202 amp. There is s... 
MSB Discrete vs Premier
I have owned the discrete and currently own the premier Dac. I found that with the premier the background became even more black. The soundstage also expanded and everything had more definition. With this move I have actually decided to go full MS... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@brewerslaw  I am down in the Chicago area. The Rockport dealer is here in Palatine. The shop is The Audio Experience.   
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@brewerslaw    i am not sure where you are located? The dealer was right on with the YG summit they are not shipping yet. I do know a dealer local to me that has a pair of Rockport Atria II on consignment right now. These would be awesome speake... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@ronboco  My understanding is that the difference in price to produce the two speakers was not too different.  It is possible they were not making enough on the atria compared to the rest of the line up. I do miss my Atria II. I do hope to one da... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@ronboco There was no update to the speakers. It was a price increase only. I bought the Atria II @$26k it then went to $28 and then $38k. I truly think that $26- 28 is a good price range for the atria. The Avior was also a good price ice at $40k....

@chauncey give Vine Galbo a call he might be able to arrange something for you.   
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
I have owned the TT2 with the Mscaler, dCS Bartok, MSB Discrete and now the Premier. I would take a serious look at the MSB lineup. I found the discrete to be much more natural than the other dacs I had owned. I was also surprised inning them with... 
Dac that has tone and timing?
I know that it is a stretch but the MSB discrete dac is pretty incredible in regards to resolution and tonal accuracy as well as people like to say prat. I moved from the Bartok to the discrete and was happy with the change. I did buy the bartok w... 
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@ronboco  I can see how you don’t need subs with the Avior II. I had a pair of Atria II that were good with out subs and could play down to 28hz at -3db. I did pair them with JL F100v2 subs and they sounded great. They filled out the bottom end. ... 
Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1
@mikempls There will be multiple rooms with rockport speakers this year. i think at least two with the atria II and one with Cygnus. i owned the Atria II for two years and loved them.  I paired them with 2 jl f100v2 subs to great results. i just u... 
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
Let me through a big curve ball. I suggest that you try the MSB discrete with the renderer module. Add a gigafoilv4 with the ifi elite power supply.  This should run about $15,000 usd. This would allow you to get rid of all the Innuos gear and run... 
New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW !
It is not a review from Uncle Kevin. It is a sales pitch just like any prima Luna video that he does.
