| Levinson 360 versus Benchmark Dac1 There is a reason that older Levinsons still sell very quickly here on Audiogon. They are extremely good. Look at the build quality. No comparison. If your budget allows for one go for it. You can always get your money back if you don't like it. O... | |
| Levinson 360 versus Benchmark Dac1 Are you looking to buy one or the other? | |
| An Audiogon based system My whole system with the exception of my speakers were bought here. | |
| BAT + VR 4 JR = ? Jim I always had good luck with Rat Shack or Home Depot wire. I wouldn't spend my hard earned sheckles on expensive stuff ;) :) | |
| Power Cords and Power Conditioner, How to arrange? I have found that from the wall to your conditioner is what carries the most sonic signature. | |

| Cardas Golden Presence - anyone familiar? You may want to try something like an Audience Au24 for speaker cables. I used to have Cross speaker cables and various Cardas IC's. I was getting too much warmth and eventually got the Audience. Made a big difference. | |
