| Topping Dacs D-50, DX-7, and DX7s Holy cow! For $249 the new challenger climbs into the ring and scores a quick knockout and threatens the big boys! The only thing missing is an extra 0 in the price! Look out Shiit! | |
| What the best amplification for JBL S3100? Magnificent SE, old good PP or tight SS? A First Watt F5 will work well with these JBL's. I have this amp for use with my L166's and 4312's! No need for more power! And being Class A it sounds smooth with plenty of low-end grip! | |

| If you have Dynaco MKIII's which speakers ? I have the rare Paoli - modded III's! Justly praised by TAS back in the day - and a favorite of HP! I like to use them with my Quad 57's and DCM Time Windows! Sound quality comparable to today's multi-kilobuck tube amps (paid $1600 for the pair). | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe David Hafler knew how to make a good speaker at an affordable price! I always liked the A25's for their fine tonal balance (first heard them in 1971). Its competition were the Advents (Large and Small), the AR4's and the Rectilinear Mini-3's.All ... | |
