Moon i3.3 vs Plinius 9100
Tarantula, what types of music do you usually listen to? 
Moon i3.3 vs Plinius 9100
I really like the 9100. It is amazing amp. have not heard the simaudio, but the sim audio will be much more agressive than the plinius...what i have heard...the plinius will be more neutral than the sim. So it boils down to preference...for dynaud... 
Is Plinius 9200 bright sounding?
agree with the above statements, neutral and smooth. 
Rel Stadium ll vs Rel Strata lll
Thanks guys for the responses. My room is 12x15 and I have Totem model 1s (monitors). I have been told that the stadium is fast enough so I do not think that is a problem. What do you guys think? 
High End system sounding Terrible????
I second Mapman. 
Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout
Thanks guys for the response, that clears up my question. So if I had a tube amp that had 4&8 ohm connections, and I was using the 4 ohm, does the sub go on the 4 ohm as well or does it matter? 
CDP for Plinius/Totem Combo
I own a similar set up; Plinius sa100, Totem model ones (also have tried arrows and forests on the same electronics) And this is what I recommend..Meridian G08 DetailedMusical Fidelity A5.5 Warm and Full (tube output) Bel Canto CD2 Neutral (touch ... 
Help Finding my system bright...
How would I know whether it is down sampling or not? 
Transport for DAC
Hey 4est, I actually have a mac mini hooked up to it right now. I just want a nice transport for when I play CD's. The Mini sounds pretty amazing I do agree. 
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
I heard the sophia's with a Mcintosh MA7000 and it was amazing. I love the silky warm sound that the combo has to offer. Also look at musical fidelity and plinius separates.Darren 
signal cable magicpower and digital reference....
Yeah that is what I am thinking, the magicpower sounds fairly good on my system, but I think the digital ref is making my dac sound a bit on the harsh thin side. 
Help Finding my system bright...
I agree with you ryder. What do people think about the lack of preamp thing? I had all of my electronics(not my cables) on my fathers forests, and it sounded very warm and full. I am starting to think its not the lack of preamp but my power cables... 
Help Finding my system bright...
Very interesting, yeah before I found my system bright I was using a classe integrade. So my problem may be the lack of a preamp. I see how the harshness of digital could be what I am trying to descibe. Thanks everyone for your input. 
Help Finding my system bright...
Well my plinius is a 90 pound 100 watt separate. I do not think its even stressing pushing the model ones. And I know its not my room acoustics becuase I have heard my system not bright before. I have am starting to believe that it is my cables. A... 
Replacement for Vandersteen 2ci
possibly the Totem Forests....with the right electronics...they would have tighter bass and better imaging than your 2ci's. Used price on the gon is 1600-2000. They have a fairly small cabinet and can extend as low as the upper 20hz. good luck!
