| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Your comparing a 150K Wadax Dac to a 25K Dac??? No idea how that would compare. | |
| Higher End DACs Even if money is no object, i will still stick to the Playback Design. When i sold off my MSB DAC, I then went off to Total DAC and then Lampi. Both of these dacs are very fine too and not much to complain about. I did have Noise issues with the L... | |

| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC out of all the amps mentioned on this Page, The Atma-Sphere M60 Full loaded with all option----in my opinion will be the most superior one of the lot. Just pair it with moderately efficient speakers and I bet you will never look around. | |
| Soundsmith Aida vs Hana sh Get the Hana one of the very best in its price range, has a musical presentation that will put a smile on your face. | |

| J. Sikora Initial turntable J Sikora is a highly recommend table, very very good value for the money and will punch much higher than the well-known brands in the same price range. The Reference level table was compared to the Tech DAS tables which cost 10 times more. Some ve... | |

| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. MP-1 or MP-3 from Atma-Sphere you will never regret the purchase. It can stand hand in hand against those super heavily marketed companies out there.The MP-1 is by far to me one of the very best, being in this hobby for 25 years heard and owned s... |
