Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Kops,Just to respond on your sharing on the DCS/AMR experience. I haven't had the pleasure of trying out any DCS gear myself (out of my price range :-) So I'll have to defer to your observations.However, I do see both these DAC's approach from opp... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
I don't know if you seen this posting on ComputerAudiophile where there's been some good sharing on couple of folks experience with the AMR DP 777 already.It's worth checking out if you are interested in this DAC.I just got my sample this week and...

There's been delay in the shipment, so I'm expecting to finally get my hand on a unit to test with next week.I'll post once I get to spent some time with it. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
I've been trying to get an audition for the AMR DP 777 but none of the local dealers has this in stock. It seems the first batch that was made had been all sold out and even dealers haven't been able to get their hands on it.All they could offer m...

Lloydelee21,Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.I've emailed the AMR folks to learn where's the nearest dealer in my state. They provided me a contact that's 30 mins from my home, but they haven't received their demo model of the AMR DP777 ... 
another thread on DACS/players...thoughts please
My local dealer has been really pitching the new AMR DP 777 Dac and he describes at as a design with the musicality of Audio Note as it is also tube base but with a state of the art design/implementation on the input end to ensure detail/data are ...

This is a great thread and Ive found this very helpful in deciding on my next dac. My local dealer has been really pitching the new AMR DP 777 Dac and he describes at as a design with the musicality of Audio Note as it is also tube base but with a...

What's the best Tube DAC you have heard?

Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Sarcher,I took a look at the Spectron, turns out they too are switching amps which is like my current nuforce Ref 8. They can certainly handle the 2 ohm loads, but as you mentioned Roger has made it clear that switching amps don't pair up well wit... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Spectron Musician III?! I've never heard of it, but seems like something worth checking out.I had initially been thinking about the Krell or the Ampzilla amps, but the recommendations here for Sunfire, JC1, etc, does give me something to research;... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Sean,The rest of my system is Linn Majik DS player and Music Hall MF7 phono for source. I have the Lamm LL2 Deluxe for pre and I have two sets of amps; the VTL 450MB (this is nicely modded with new caps and golden lion KT88s), my fallback SS amp i... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Thanks for the many suggestions.Several amps I never thought of, I will investigate those.Just to respond to the suggestion on the ESL amp, I once had the old Innersound ESL amp, and I felt it was rather bright and had more of the SS edge for my t... 
Has anyone try the Benchmark DAC1 Preamp?
Amfbius there made some very solid points and agree with his conventional wisdom as well. I have the Cary SLP98 which does do a wonderful job driving my amps. It was for kicks that I actually try my DAC1 directly driving a pair of ASL 845 SET amps... 
Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end
I had tried in the past with the monitor & sub combo and I'm not sure if it is room interaction or what, but I was never able to melt the sound together between the Sub and speaker. Granted, I only got a $600 sub to start and it didn't fit tha...
