McIntosh 501 or 602 for Magnepan 20.1
Hard to imagine going wrong with the 501's. 
Von Schweikert synergy
I use a McIntosh MA 6900 integrated amp with my VR4JR's. Very good synergy here. I also used this amp with the VR2's and it was great. I recommend strong amplification whether solid state or tube. High quality amplification will be rewarded by the... 
Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1
Thanks, John_beavers. That is the kind of feedback I am looking for. The TAS review of the SA11s1 suggested it was at least as good as the Sony XA9000ES, which is saying something. I am considering a stand alone SACD/CD player and want a good one,... 
Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1
I would like to hear more comments on the stock performance of the SA-11s1 from those who have lived with it for a while. 
Best CD player now made.

APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
Thank you, Alex. That is what I wanted to know. 
APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
I see that a company called Hot Rod Audio Mods is offering an APL clock package for the 3910. Can any of you speak to what relation Hot Rod has to APL? They say that just replacing the 3910's clock with the APL clock is the biggest improvement tha... 
McIntosh MC402
Thanks, to both of you.

Aball: What replacement model? Is MAC replacing the 6900? Benfmd: Wow, I am impressed that you walked away with the 6900 over the 46/402. I too own the 6900 and love it, but have been tempted to go with the seperates. Thanks, 
Reimyo CDP 777
I wish I could afford it--even used! I would like to hear any other comparisons or experiences people have had with it. I have only seen 1 or 2 for sale here. 
Is SACD a dead format?
Trelja: I look forward to your upcoming review of this player in both unmodded and modded form. 
Is SACD a dead format?
Trelja: I think you have communicated a vey sensible perspective on this. 
Reimyo DAP 777 - looking for a good transport
Thank you both for responding to me. It sounds like the DAP777 is very transport dependent? Not that all DAC's aren't somewhat, but is this one particularly sensitive? Thanks 
Reimyo DAP 777 - looking for a good transport
How do you DAP777 owners like it? Can you compare it to anything we would know? How much is it new/used? Are there any Reimyo dealers in the USA? Thanks 
Music from hard drive better than CD?
Part of me thinks that some kind of hard-disc based music server is definitely the way of the future. So, it is not a matter of "if" so much as a matter of "when". Here is a paragraph I cut from the Apple website in reference to their new 17 inch ...
