| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? Well my 2 cents (a bit more than that...) - the 2 most important parts of an audio system is the source (and to be more precise the dac) and the speakers. Hence I will pick the dCS Vivaldi dac and the Vivid g3 speakers. | |
| Phono preamp: Sutherland 20/20 or Manley Chinook? Another suggestion if I may - check out the BMC mcci which is mc only phono stage but a truly excellent unit. Rave reviewers in stereophile.You can find a used one easily for your budget. | |
| Isolation feet under diy rack For now I bought a set of 4 stillpoints ultra ss sold here on A'gon. The rack is still in its design stage and I think I'll go also for soundcare superspikes and have them tested one against the other once the rack is completed. I'll keep you post... | |

| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers MattLooks like you going to have great time with your system.I just don't understand that general warning not to do business with Europeans as if all US audiophiles worked for mother Teresa. A thief is a thief no matter where he lives and everyone... | |

| MC 601 from music culture Actually I had my inhouse demo yesterday. The MC monoblocks topped the Pass xa60.5 in every parameter but mostly in depth and in revealing any note in the spectrum without causing any listening fatigue. This one goes to my top of the list. I wish ... | |
| MC 601 from music culture Wow Cabling cost more than the electronics but this is probably just since MC present heck of a VFM. Sounds like a great setup - enjoy.MC dealer will do a in house demo for me either today or next week. I'll post my thoughts. | |
| MC 601 from music culture Thanks I'm sure gonna try it soon.Iblieve - what types of cables do you use with the MC stack (power, IC,SC)? | |
| MC 601 from music culture Hi allMy original post was from Jan-12 and since then I bought theMC-601. To my ears this is one of the best values in hiend - a 1st class preamp that based on the same technology as the top of the line preamps from MBL. I consider now also the mc... | |
| Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini Thanks.Do you know whether the Scarlatti dac alone (without clock) will also work against Puccini ? |
