Mark Levinson 326s vs Ayre K5xeMP
I like neutral sound considering gear listed with Revel F228be's speakers, Cardus Clear interconnects and Clarus power AC cables. Using Kimber Kable speaker cable.  
Mark Levinson 326s vs Ayre K5xeMP
Hk_fan andv@bar81. Thanks for the replies. Is the ML 326s closer to the new Ayre KxR Twenty than the K-5xeMP I have now, meaning a good upgrade ? You mentioned ML house sound, are there big difference in sound between Ayre and ML like neutrality, ... 
Record cleaning and care
Well the pops and clicks I'm hearing sound from more like dirt or static as I can't see scratches with the naked eye in particular. Some are brand new records, some are old but in very good shape with appear no scratches. I have an EAT C Major wit... 
Record cleaning and care
So does anyone use a ultrasonic cleaner and does it just do a much greater job and remove all ticks/pops or at least 95% or more??  
Anthem STR vs Parasound JC 2 BP vs any other sub $5,000 Preamp?
Anthem makes a great product with outstanding room correction, I had an MRX510 paired with a Rotel then my Mark Levinson 532h. Until I listened to a very seasoned high end dealer I loved using the room correction, but he suggested to leave off tha... 
Need DAC/Streaming Advice
The Bluenode 2i with a good dac plays way above its price. It is not entry level at all paired with a good dac. I use mine with a Benchmark Dac 2 into Ayre preamp and Mark Levinson amp and it sounds great.  My Levinson dealer sells quite a few hig...

Auralex Subdude for vibration control
Someone asked did I try yet. Yes I have tried it under amp and it seems like I've got a little better bass response. I think it has helped, it definitely hasn't hurt. Getting harder to tell on some of the tweaks as it's sounding so darn good !! Cl...

Revel F228BE
Techno_dude meant Thanks for the compliment and feedback! Autospell can be a pain lol 
Revel F228BE
Techno_dude, Well I'm listening to Tidal off my computer laptop into the Benchmark DAC and must say it sounds pretty refined and resolute but maybe for a lot more money I'm sure there's better. It sounds really really good and the Ayre MP version ...
