| Burmester and MBL I have to offer an alternative viewpoint. I have a tube system, and have the MBL 6010D along with a VAC Phi 300 amp and Stealth interconnects. I also use the Accustic Arts tube Dac, and have Kharma speakers. A dealer told me that he did a comparis... | |
| Review: Valve Amplification Company Phi 300 Tube amp I have the the Vac 70/70 Ren Signature amp, and based in large part upon this thread, upgraded to the Accustic Arts Dac, with Amperex tubes, and also the Stealth Sextet digital cable.

Directed by Paul Halley on DMP records, available on Amazon. Tracts 7- O Sacrum Convivium and 11- Pater Noster, are an... | |
| Best speaker between 15K-35K Ecxellent post Holz; we appreciate the info in doing research on speakers. I have a small room 13ftx14ft by 13 feet high, and require a smaller speaker. I would lean towards the Quad, based on reviews, but think it is just too big for my room. The... |
