DAC placement
Don't be fooled. It can be just just as important to isolate solid state as tubes. In the case of the PWT and PWD both benefit from isolation treatment. I use Herbie's Tenderfeet with 2 Supersonic Stabilizers on top of each component. For proper r...

Could you please compare the Dude to the ARC REF 3? I've really been interested in this comparison and you may be the first I've seen that's owned both.Thanks in advance.Steve

All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ?

Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files

Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding
Best of both worlds, use both. I use both, Legacy Helix full range quad amped floorstanders with Legacy Extreme HD Subwoofers. This way I get a set of speakers that will go down to below 20 hz and then place the subwoofers to reinforce and enhance...
