mastering vs room and synergy of equipment
dave,I sold the emm labs primarily to finance the purchase of the dartzeel preamp to use with the dartzeel amplifier. Since I needed a new cd player but with a limited budget I bought the reference marantz sa-7s1 cd player. Its well built, quiet, ...

evolution acoustics mm2 - review after 600 hours
I have now altered my system to gain better advantage of the dartzeel amplifier. I purchased the dartzeel preamplifier to connect to the dartzeel amplifier via the bnc cables.The transparancy and mid-range detail of this combination is simply stun... 
Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player
among other things, I am jealous because the remot is backlit.As usual, all the audiophiles are at least one step behind mike.Mike and others help convinced me to get the dartzeel amplifier and then recently I hocked some silver, some gold, and so... 
Opinions of the EMM DCC2 SE
I found the emmlabs dcc2 se was an impressive line stage that was almost as good as the audio research ref 3 when paired with my dartzeel amplifier. I sold it only because I wanted the dartzeel preamplifier which has a special synergy with the dar...

Wilson MAXX musicallity and sound
I agree with the suggestion of a Vandersteen 5A which is real nice and has extra power with the powered woofer. Even better is the Evolution Acoustic MM2 or MM3.Michael 
mbl 6011d or arc ref 3 or dartzeel preamp?
well I just heard the arc ref 3 in my system thanks to the generosity of Marty Williams.I must say that the arc ref 3 is not a dramatic change from the emm labs preamp dcc2se. The emmlabs holds it own very well. I think that my choice really boils... 
mbl 6011d or arc ref 3 or dartzeel preamp?
raquel....good point.....I am certainly using the bnc connection if I get the dartzeel preamp 
does high end system need expensive speaker cable
By the way,I also forgot to mention that the system sounds great. I upgraded from Wilson Sophias Speakers and a Krell integrated amp and the difference is significant. It just that I have the bug of pushing the system to its capabilities and was c...
