I was using an mdf shelved floor rack with isolation between the maple and mdf before getting the Neuance. It was easy to hear the superior per... | |

| Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar The Granite Audio 657 is an excellent tube CD player and there is currently an auction going on one. It would be worth you time to check it out. | |

| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? The McCormack DNA-2 is not on your list of excellent amps, but it is worthy of your consideration. The DNA-2 Deluxe did everything right in stock form and now with the SMc mods it has ended my amp quest. | |
