| Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp Almost bought a Hegel...Demo'd at home. Cold sounding...got a Krell Vangaurd! Faithful to the music, colorful and dynamic...warmth? Yes | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? Krell Vangaurd...Krelldog! True high end sound...deals are available if you look around:) | |
| Thoughts on my current system Only power products I have ever used that DO NOT screw up the sound and actually lower the noise floor of your system is Transparent. Transparent and MIT power cables are also superior to others....they let the beauty through and leave the grunge... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry...not really trying to force any particular point, other than I have found a single box player with really good power delivery, ancillaries and interconnects can give you world class sound.

| Need feedback on loudspeakers FYI, Totems are renowned for low level dynamics. If they did not deliver low level excitement than they were not properly fed enough juice. Macintosh is notoriously over rated and under powered! Also, use MIT cables if you want to hear music an... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers Totem Forest Signature is very dynamic at even low levels and very spatial...sound staging champs!! | |
