Didn't expect this at all.My apologies, Ricred, if I have unintentionally offended you. I have posted what I thought were relevant parts of your message only for the benefit of others following this thread. I was not trashing one product in favor ...

Via email, you stated :-"Thanks for the Ayre K-5xeMP suggestion. How much is it? My current system needs more bass impact. I submit my issue is I'm using the DAC as a preamp and it acts like a passive preamp and I loose gain/dynamics. Everything e...

Sabai,In another thread on GG cables, you stated :-"12-22-10: Sabai..........I just installed a Synergistic Research PowerCell 10SE power conditioner with Galileo MPC in my system. I have mostly Gabriel Gold cables in my system -- ICs, PC and SCs.... 
2006 McIntosh MA6500 new unwrapped in box..value?
Hi Athana,Forget about this amp. I used to have it and sold it off within 6 months. Regretted buying it - there were a lot more negatives than positives. The dynamic headroom was rather limited - it doesn't get louder before things started to soun...
