Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners
Brownsfan, excellent USEFUL info.It's interesting Dan is gravitating to Lundahl transformer coupled and I guess in this case, no caps are better than best caps? There's a new DAC flavor of the month so don't chase but I'm strongly considering a MW... 
Shindo Concertino 300b specs?
Yes, heard them driving Line Magnetic’s Replica Western Electric Theater Speaker System at my dealers home several weeks ago. One of the best systems I've ever heard. Send me pm and I can hook you with my dealer if need more info. 
Sadly missed manufacturers
Interesting that no one mentioned Western ElectricWestern Electric (many of whose products from the 1930's are still revered for their sonics, and are worth small or not so small fortunes)Line Magnetic keeps the "Western Electric" spirit (and sou... 
PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
You say that 2.4.3 is best sounding DAC Firmware thus far. Was this immediately apparent or was some "burn in" required. (Not sure how Firmware burns in.) Can you elaborate a bit on the improvements?I likely will try it but want to have some idea ...

Thoughts on New Krell Amps

Audio Research Reference 3 Seeking help
Techalliedsinatown, Why do you have to buy from Hong Kong dealer?? Google for ARC dealers in other countries and have them order for you. I'm VERY familiar with HK and easy to find a qualify tech to install them if you can't solder.Another avenue ...

While on the PWD MKII DAC topic, has anyone loaded the latest firmware (2.4 something)? Before I make the move, interested to hear comments. Yes, it can be reversed, but it is a pain tooling with these things.Yes, I'm using Bridge Version:0.2.14f ... 
Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ
I've decided to keep 3 sets. Decided not to use them on speakers, 15' high ceiling and open left hand side of the system. Even with bare walls, my system sounded excellent. But it's amazing how these little suckers can alter the sound. I experimen... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Joeyboynj, I agree with you on PS Audio Passive and Power re-generators. I would never use them for any current hungry components. With low current, there are much much superior alternatives.Probably the only active I would use is an EquiTech wall...

Cymbop, I have a similar setup with a Touch. Only use digital out to PWD for SqueezeNetwork internet radio. From my experience, sound is superior with the bridge but very very acceptable with Touch.Several suggestions:1. Upgrade fuses in PWD2. Get...
