| Preamp DAC for my Thiel 7.2 ML333 I second the recommendation to go with Levinson. During the last summer I was fortunate to find some used ML gear (38 pre, 37 trans and 36 DAC) to add to my ML 27 amp. The improvement was orders of magnitude over anything else I tried. So get a pr... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Levinson - all used, except the 27 amp. 38 preamp, 37 CD transport, 36 DAC, and a Genesis Digital Lens, Kimber D-60s, Kimber KGAGs, Kimber 4TC, Thiel 2.2s. The Levinson pre, trans, and DAC all replaced PS Audio components. As each Levison componen... | |

| Kimber Monocle X vs. XL vs. 4TC Thanks for the info. Yes, it's a Levinson 27 ... . Don't remember what the damping factor is, 'tho I it may have been stated as >200 - will have to check the manual. | |
| Kimber Monocle X vs. XL vs. 4TC Sorry - I have idea how this got up here a second time! I certainly didn't click on 'New Thread' a second time. Suggestion to the Webmaster: Do as many chat rooms do, and allow the original poster to delete a message they have put there, at least ... | |
| Thiel CS7.2 and Levinson amp and preamp Don't know if you've bought yet, but I have to go with those who say that the Thiel/Levinson combo is a great one. I have an ML 27 driving Thiel 2.2s, and hope to upgrade the rest of my system to ML. I've listened to 7.2s driven with a 336/380S co... |
