| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 Parsound JC1 mono's. Thank me later. :) | |
| Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14Bsst² ? Pass Labs. Not even close. | |
| Linn majik ds + mark levinson 360 vs akurate ds In my experience ML has more weight that Linn. Not that Linn is thin necessarily, but it's not quite as rich as ML. ML is a tad darker while Linn is lighter on it's toes.It's difficult to accurately describe so you really do need to listen to this... | |
| Linn majik ds + mark levinson 360 vs akurate ds I think the only way you can answer this question is to audition both combinations and answer it for yourself.I've owned Levinson and Linn digital and they are both good, but different. | |
| recommend an amplifier for rockport mira 1 I've heard Rockport with Ayre power and was VERY impressed. Granted it was a top shelf Ayre system (KX-R/MX-R) but I wouldn't hesitate to pair one of the lower priced Ayre model amps with Rockport speakers. | |

| iFi iDAC, Micromega MyDAC, Shiit Bifrost? I use both... USB from my audio server for critical listening as well as SPDIF from my DirecTV tuner. | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 factory capacitor change I own a pair of JC1's which were purchased new in 2012 and have the Nichicon Gold caps.If you are considering these amps I cannot recommend them highly enough, they are fantastic IMO. | |
| iFi iDAC, Micromega MyDAC, Shiit Bifrost? I own the MyDAC and wouldn't say it lacks in the low end at all. To my ear its low end is every bit as good as the Esoteric universal player it replaced, and better in most areas.I can't speak to the others you mentioned as I've never heard either... | |
| Looking for a DAC Try the Micromega MyDAC. I've been very impressed with mine for nearly a year. | |
| Levinson 326s or McIntosh C200 ? Levinson 326 gets my vote. It sounds fantastic and the user interface is the best of just about any component I've ever used. It's dead quite and very resolving. The blackest background I have heard in my system.It's the one component I have no re... | |
| Advice Nice system. My advice would be to try a new DAC, the Cambridge is good but there are certainly better.Many of which you can try risk free in your home. | |
| CD player with Tube Output or Music Server I've owned several VERY ($10k+) high end CD/SACD players and recently experimented with a server/DAC setup and I was stunned at how subtle/non-existant the SQ difference was between the two.The choice comes down to what you like. I personally miss... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Personally, I have no problem with ARC releasing new Reference products whenever they like.Automakers release new/updated products every year.. I see no difference.The older ARC products continue to function just fine with every new release, and t... | |
| Where to invest I agree completely with Samhar. |
