| Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC Hello Pete (Seadog), I now have the Makua with internal DAC and Kaluga amps. Awesome. The PS Audio stuff is now gone. Night and day better to me, and oh so pretty! Network straight into the Makua, I have Roon Nucleus on my network. The Kalug... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier Hello NeonKnight,I have just sold and moved on from a complete PS Audio setup with DS DAC, BHK Pre and BHK 250 amp. I have two systems, so swapping gear was easy. In the end, I found the PS Audio all a bit 'less clear' and less resolving than ni... | |

| Emotiva not so good Hi, I also had an XPA2. It was my first 'nice' stereo amp. Replaced it with a Classe CA-2300 ex demo. Wow. Bye Bye Emotiva. It was ok for the cost. Yes the Parasound Halo also nice, a sweet spot in the market I think. All of these are heav... | |

| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Well if this discussion shows anything, it is that people like different sounding systems! But it is quite interesting how McIntosh discussions evoke such passion and opinion. I can think of no other brand which causes such divisiveness. Or bra... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help So appropriate to me this thread. 6 months ago my Classe SSP-800 failed for the third time. Decided NOT to waste any more money on old DAC and multi channel extras. So I set off to find a new DAC and Pre amp, and love warm smooth sounding music... | |
| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference Hello, I can comment on the Revel, Paradigm and B&W. I have had 802N's for some time. So I have auditioned the newer 802's, and find them too bright. I still enjoy the Nautilus is one of my systems.I wanted to like the Paradigms. Pretty, c... | |
| Audio Rack Selection Hi, have you seen the beautiful hardwood racks from Timbernation in PA? My new rack is strong, beautiful, reasonable, and holds similar equipment. I modified his stock dimensions to slightly deeper and bigger clearances. Love it. Tiger Maple s... | |

| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Hi, your brain will hurt before this thread ends! So many opinions and a broad question. My thoughts:1) you have a great pre amp; so stay with separates and wait on amp purchase until you know your speakers and have listened. It's easy to wrap ... | |
