| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Everyone here is very kind and offering sage, well thought out advice to the OP. You are all to be commended. I'll still bet that this person is a Troll, although I hope to be proven wrong when he posts some pictures to 1 of his 4 systems.Again, I... | |

| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Definitely a troll, he's got one too many "big names" listed. He has an extra piece from Krell/ARC/Mac for his amp and preamp. To front that equipment with the Sony player is also very unlikely......lastly, he has like 4 systems listed.....RILLY? | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Hey Audiofeil, you are always so careful not to mention products that you carry in order to avoid any appearance of shilling but The Audio Note AN-E speakers are pretty hard to beat with a nice tube setup. I have had several pair of Harbeths in my... | |

| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR "Either way the integrated amp will have to have *both* preamp out and amp in jacks (like NAD and Bryston) so that the integrated can be treated as separates."Some of the Naim integrateds also do what Bob stated. Good luck and let us know how it t... | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR Sam, an inexpensive solution with very little risk might be the new Wadia Powerdac 151. It is a small integrated with built in dac which lists for $1,195. It accepts only digital sources though and no pre-amp outs. I have not personally heard one ... | |
| Recommend a DAC If $2,000 is your approximate budget, the best value IMO would be the dac route. An example, even though I do not own one, would be a demo/pre-owned PS Audio Perfectwave dac and a good digital cable for under $2,000. You would then be good to go f... | |

| Risk in owning used McIntosh amps? I had a MA2275 that I purchased used. I had a problem, contacted McIntosh and they handled it wonderfully, for a very reasonable fee. McIntosh equipment lasts so long and McIntosh is so serious about wonderful customer service that they treat ever... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Welcome to the dark side! Computer based (noiseless/fanless) music servers are an extraordinary value and are quite convenient, with 1 caveat I will list at the end of this post.I have a setup similar to what you describe in my second system and w... | |
