Amp/preamp recommendations for Quad ESL 2905
Why don't you want to stay with MF? I run my ESL 989s with a MF NuVista M300 integrated. It sounds marvellous. I was stunned by how loud the Quads play with this amp - I have so far not managed to trigger the safety switch on the Quads - and i hav... 
Need a new AV receiver
I just bought a used Rotel 1055 and I am very happy with the sound. Before I had two so-called high end power amps that cost a multiple. But the Rotel makes the movie sound a lot more thrilling!!!!Set-up is very flexible, connectors are plenty. So... 
Mac mini audio through optical or USB or??
Good. I will get the new MF X-DACv8 in January. It has a USB input. What do I need to change in iTunes to get the 24/96 signal to go out through the USB? 
Mac mini audio through optical or USB or??
Hello, I am running my iMac output into a Musical Fidelity X-DACv3 throught the mini-optical out. I have never before heard of the option to adjust iTunes digital output? How do you do that? I would love to try higher res output vs the upsampling ... 
DK-Girl In The Other Room, anyone heard it?

I run a 115V CDP (77) in Europe. it cannot be easily converted, since the power supply contacts are soldered on and it is not obvious to the non-Accuphase engineer on how to resolder them. Anyway I would never dare to solder around in any Accuphas... 
Wilson MAXX II speakers-
The update is not out yet - seems to take a while after the launch of the Mk II speakers... But I was told by WA that a few elements of the Mk II are available as upgrade - presumably the new tweeter and cross-overs. The casework is obviously a bi... 
Nautilus 801 bass/room size amplifiers
I had 801s for a while and was 'ok' with some room treatments. Then I replaced them with 800s and got a Accuphase DG-28 digital equalizer which did a lot for them to get rid of the Grand Canyons in the bass. Then I replaced those with Wilson Audio... 
Wilson MAXX II speakers-
I am waiting for the update for my original MAXX - which i love dearly (replaced a pair of B&W Nautilus 800). By the way - I run them in a room 15' x 15' (though with a ceiling height of 14' and opening into a room of 15' x 30'. However, my li...
