theta pro basic 3 or muse 2?
Get Muse - much better sounding. I have had both. 
Audioquest Volcano and Mont Blanc opinions
You should really try AQ KE-4 - their cheapest silver speaker cable. It bests Volcano in every possible way - save for the ultimate bas slam and extension - at 1/2 price. 
I need a fantastic DAC
Try MBL1611 or EMM DCC2. 
Theta DS Pro Gen V - can you tell me about it?
I have just sold my Gen Va. While waiting for my EMM combo to arrive, I picked up an used Muse Model 2 DAC for 300$ ... roughly 1/5th of what I got for my Theta. To my surprise, Muse is MUCH more musical, has graeater midrange fluidity and more bo... 
Krell KRC-3 Questions
IMO, used Krell KAV300 CD would be a nice match. You have to get rid of those horrible ICs and speaker cables though !Get an used pair Cardas Golden Reference ICs (400$ on AudiogoN) and some decent speaker cables (like AudioQuest CV-6).And yes, I ... 
Kimber Select 3033 vs AudioQuest?
I cannot speak for Kimber, since I haven't heard their Select range of cables. However, I have tried all AudioQuest silver speaker cables - KE-4, KE-6, Kilimanjaro and Everest - and they are all absolutely fabulous.First off, they sound unlike any... 
Audioquest Volcano vs Mont Blanc
I think that you should go with their new KE-4 silver cables. I have owned Volcano (non dbs) and have had the KE-4 on loan and they are MUCH superior to Volcanos in every way, save the ultimate bass slam. The purity of sound on KE-4 is just unbeli...

Best amp/preamp combo for Wilson Watt puppy 5.1
Dvavc - Wilson doesn't modify the Scans ... they are build to their specs at SS factory, in Videabek, Danemark. Having been in Scan Speak factory and having spoken with their head engineer - Mr. Lars Goller - I can tell you that most of the manufa... 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
Sutts - Assemblage D2D-1 is nowhere near as good as GDL, which is based on a totally different concept (RAM buffer as opposed to PLL loop) so I'm not surprised that it didn't do any good. Try GDL and you may be surprised.dCS Purcell on the other h... 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
Sutts: what jitter interfaces have you tested ? can you be more specific ? 
McIntosh C-2200 Preamp
I have had it for over 2 weeks on loan. The midrange have had a nice warmth and body. Bass wasn't as tight or as deep as in my Krell KRC-3, and the resolution was nowhere near as good. But overall, a very nice sounding pre. 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
Tabl10s -> BigBen is a Jitter Reducer, not an upsampler.BTW - anyone compared Genesis Digital Lens vs Apogee BigBen ? 
Is the new TEAC P-01 and mono dac combo good? Yes
Atomic clock ???
