| NAD C372 versatility? I echo the remarks of Akg-ca. In the past, I owned the 162/272 combo; now I own the 375. Turn the soft clipping switch to off. Turn the tone controls off. Replace the pre-to-power jumpers with ICs. Replace the stock PC. This will take your 372 to ... | |
| Magnepan SMGa owners, is this experience typical? The Boston Acoustics speakers I own are actually the A400's and not the A200's. This doesn't change my experience with the SMGa's at all, but I do feel like an idiot. | |

And, I... | |

| Getting great stereo sound from multi channel sys. I find it a bit curious that those endorsing option 1 are not also commenting on the op's choice of speakers. The GoldenEars seem to me to be an odd choice for someone who wants to maximize 2 channel stereo performance. | |
| Tube DAC with solid state pre and solid state amp To answer your question directly, no. If I were going to throw tubes in to the mix, I think I'd do it the other way around: a tube pre and keep the DAC SS.Tgrisham, I'm assuming you run the EE minimax through the tube output stage.
