Streaming integrated for Silverline Sonatinas
For the price definitely a Hegel.   
DAC recommendations
If you can, try and listen a Lampizator DAC. You will get best of both worlds… I use an older Lampizator Gen4 Level5 and kept it against an Aqua LaVoce. newer Lampizator models should be way better, mine looks more like a pré production model, s... 
Anyone moved on from an Auralic Vega to Lampizator?
I moved from a Bel Canto 2.5 to a now discontinued Lampizator Level 4 Gen 5 and it was not even close.  Once properly setup ( Valvo Gold Pin ecc81, Brimar 12bh7 and rca 6x5 rectifier) the sound stage is so large and deep, textures are vibrant, eno...

Where can we order?  
Best DACs under $7,000.00
I preferred a Lampi over any Aqua offering. Tried the Holo May, very good DAC, but the Lampi has more depth, and connects me more emotionally to the music (fwiw) The only other DAC I heard I wish I had is the Accuphase DC-1000, simply the best di... 
Review: Dali Euphonia MS4 Speaker
I own theses speakers and don’t really understand how they could be labeled as “bright”. They are very revealing and need good components as you will hear every parts of the chain. I used them with Luna Mauve cables, prior to those I had Chord E... 
Request recommendations to purchase a streaming device
Wattson streamers are hard to beat for the money. Swiss made, no nonsense, accurate and emotional all at once.   
Accuphase dac 60
The only good DAC Accuphase built is the DC-1000. It is amazing, it kill everything I heard from Aqua or Lampizator, regardless of the cost. It is a 20K unit though…. If it’s not for the DC-1000, plenty of better DACs for the money… Aqua and Lamp... 
Don’t fight your speakers.
@ghdprentice It was a lesson learned the hard way, spent a year analyzing music instead of enjoying it. Foolishness of a youngster I guess.   My first taste of HiFi was on a pair of B&W DM4 paired with then some top of the line Simaudio fron... 
Pass and electronic music
For electronic music I would think class A Krell before Pass. But then again, one of the best experience I had was with Mono Class A Accuphase paired with SE PMCs… Everything is possible with good pairing.  
Audio Analogue Maestro Settanta
Hi!   I own the Audio Annalogue Maestro Anniversary ( can’t comment on the original) I auditioned it vs Accuphase e380, and chose it over the accuphase.   It is being fed by a Lampizator Dac and it drives a pair of NHT 3.3 (87DB, 6ohm)   It...

Killer used integrated for
Bought an Hegel H100 for 650usd. It’s a bit pricier but nothing compare at such price.You will get depth, great timings and imaging, soundstage, bass, beautiful midrange and Hegel liquid sound signature at 120w@8ohm and 240w@4ohm. Plus a usable DA...
