| Vintage Levinson DACs i now have an Emm lab cdp - I finally advanced/upgraded mainly to listen to SACD's. the new player sounds very good, no complaints there. but i never had that "day versus night" experience when i got it. not so when i upgraded years ago to my ML-3... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? long ago i heard the sf extremas at an audio show for the 1st time. while not the greatest room, wires, etc. (plus the fact that i couldn't afford them), i set my future goal THAT DAY on trying to get a pair. i was so emotionally moved by the beau... | |
