Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5
You don't have to get it repaired at the factory for goodness sakes. There are plenty of other avenues to take for repairs. It sucks that you had to pay that much for repair and Harman is not supporting their products but its obvious your are jade... 
Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5
If you can buy parts from Madrigal then I would have a reputable repairmen replace the parts instead of sending back to factory. I had a ML 29 repaired by a reputable shop a few years ago. He replaced the caps and I can't remember the other part f... 
Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5
BRF I have to ask, how does the 334 lack soul and emotion? I have heard it and used to own a 27.5. Personally I liked the 334 better and thats not saying the 27.5 sounded like chopped liver. I thought the 300 series just sounds a bit smoother and ... 
recommendations for upgrading Bryston BP-26
What about a BAT VK40SE. I heard the VK40 in my system sometime ago and liked it and I would think the SE version would be better. I liked the 40 much better than a ML 38 which would have the same signature I would imagine as the 380s. Just my 2 c... 
PASS LABS X250 vs X150.5
The other way around. The .5 series is more refined. I have heard the 250 and personally didn't care for it with my speakers. It is a very very nice amp with loads of bass and resolution. It just had too much resolution for my taste. 
SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?
Bryston and Pass X (not .5) series. 
What speakers work well with your BAT VK-55?
My Tyler Acoustics sound very good with BAT. 
Rack Recommendation for VK-600
I bet a nice set of 40 DD's would suffice :) 
Has anyone used a pair BAT VK-55 as mono blocs
Your gonna love the 55's especially in mono. I had a 55 on loan for about 3 months and absolutely loved it. This was a stereo 55 and not mono. 
Best power cord for Running Springs Audio -Haley
I am using a VH Audio AirSine on my Haley with really good results. 
What about Cardas Cord?
I agree with Art. I had the Golden Ref running a RSA Haley last year and also on a BAT amp with good results. 
Classe DR-2 vs Classe DR-3
A local friend of mine had either the DR-2 or DR-3 I don't remember which one. I think it was 25 wpc? Anyway, it is probably the best sounding amp I have heard or one of the top 2. These amps sound wonderful and I told my friend to keep it and nev... 
Thinking of buying a solid state amp
What about a BAT ss? 
RSA Haley
I did have a Cardas Golden Ref running my last Haley with good results. Now I am using a Fusion Audio Predator as I sold the Cardas with my previous Haley. I also have at the moment a VH Audio AirSine on my integrated amp and a Shunyata Python Alp... 
RSA Haley
I previously used a Haley last year that had the upgraded brushed aluminum faceplate. I sold it to a local buddy of mine. The faceplate had "Haley" at the bottom center of it and I just bought another last week that has Haley at the top right corn...
