| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla Good choice Sidvee. I currently own a Ayon CD-5s (which btw is currently on the 'Gon for sale) which is based on the Skylla 2 dac (essentially a Skylla 2 with a transport). The Skylla 2 dac is one of the most musical & musically accurate sound... | |
| Magico S5 review @Stereotaipei, thanks for your feedback. I've also heard Dartzeel amps with the S5's and agree they sound great together. Just curious if you have compared the Boulder 1060 to the less expensive Hegel H30 (with or without their respective preamps ... | |
| Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier Thanks Charles, this thread is about reviewing and discussing primarily the Boulder 1060, and the Boulder 1000 series in general, however it's gentleman like you who help make this forum what it is. Cheers. | |
| Magico S5 review @Hifimaniac, i've heard the S5's with a Vitus SCD-025, Dartzeel NHB-108/NHB-18ns & a combination of Boulder 1050 mono's, BOulder 1010 pre, Vitus SCD-025 & Crystal Absolute Dream cables. All combinations were excellent, though the Boulders ... | |
| Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp Congratulations Digsmithd on buying a terrific & musical sounding integrated! I'd take that any day over any Accuphase under $10k. | |
| Small but high quality integrated Thanks for the clarification Ren, though bare in mind that a Manufacturer can manufacture just a few parts in one country (eg: Japan), ship those parts to China to be assembled and still legally claim the product is "Made in Japan", and from what ... | |
| Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp Dah, how could I have forgotten the Modwright KWI-200?? That is a superb integrated amp, and knowing how lovely the KWA-150 sounds and how well engineered and built that amp is, I would expect the KWI-200 to sound wonderful. Price is $5k. And that... | |
| Small but high quality integrated Most of the amps I mentioned above (except the M6i) would kick the butt of the Luxman & Accu. Luxman are made in China now & the Accuphase e-350 has no power. SET's sound lovely, but I always think it's wise to have more power than you nee... | |

| I’m looking for suggestions for a tube Pre Amp 01-06-13: WilsynetFor a smidgen more than 2K, you can get a used Modwright LS-100 for around $2200.I believe you would be very happy with it.+ 2. The LS-100 is a very well engineered preamp. It is warm and lush sounding & Dan Wright is a great... | |
| Best integrated amp for 10K Two other terrific integrateds you could consider if you're prepared to stretch would be a Simaudio 700i & Boulder 865 @ around 12k. In regard to Class A vs Class AB integrated amps, solid state Class A integrateds won't have enough power to d... | |
| Small but high quality integrated What is your budget Hysterio? I could think of few different compact sized integrateds to recommend at different price points. These would be my picks - - Musical Fidelity M6i, $2999- Unison Unico Secondo hybrid integrated, $3150 - Bladelius Thor ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. 01-03-13: Tpreaves01-03-13: Melbguy1Steve, you don't seriously rank your Sansui as the best integrated amplifier period? And sure not ahead of the Vitus?So what if he does? It's his opinion and it's just as valid as yours or anyone else's.I do apo... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Steve, you don't seriously rank your Sansui as the best integrated amplifier period? And sure not ahead of the Vitus? | |
| Magico S5 review I'd be interested to know if anyone has compared the S5's to Avalon Eidolon Diamonds? I've heard both the S5's in two different setups & Avalon Transcendents. The Avalons sounded more natural, coherent and had better sound staging to my ears. ... |
