Difficult to say of course... Mr's Rumsfelt vatic pronouncements are oft replete with sybillic fumiginosities.... uhrn, I meant to say ambiguities... Besides, who knows... the aphoristic bard may be a long-suffering closet audiophile.G.

Oops... my apologies folks... if anyone was slightly befuddled by my quote from the unwitting poetic opus of Donald Rumsfeld.... the post was meant for a completely different thread.G. 
Is it okay to talk around your speakers?
How odd... I am sure I had posted already this delightful hermetic poem by one of the most unsung bards of our days. Mayhaps it fell victim to the vagueries of the benign 'probi viri' who so lovingly oversee all our Agonic deeds, and protect us fr...

Husk, I really did not concentrate on speakers this time around.... My attention was mostly on CDPs.Out of the speakers you mention, I heard only the Evolution Acoustics. The suite also had the PD MPS-5. Truly a fabulous sound... Jonathan Tin and ... 
dCS Puccini CD transport noise
I vaguely remember that DCS may now be using some TEAC/Esoteric OEM mechanisms. If this were the case, some noise can be heard on some units. It is worth pointing out that noisy TEAC transports do not presage imminent failure... They truly are roc...

In relatively recent times, the core of the 301 internals gave up the old conversion modules used for the M302, and went to the ICEpower 1000ASP modules used for M312. There may be other changes, but I do not know what they may be. Guido
