| Vandersteen 2ce questions You need anywhere from 100wpc and up to drive these speakers to their full extent. I have a regular pair of 2ce's in my second system and they are being driven by a Classe 175wpc amp and a tube preamp. I also used a 100wpc amp on the 2ce's as well... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please I would look at the Symphonic Line tube preamp. Extremely musical, seems made for Classical music with its wide and deep soundstage. It is the only preamp I have heard that accurately reproduces piano with none of the ringing or other nasties. | |
| Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac I own a V Link II running into a Wyred dac1 and it is fantastic!! I bought this off a guy who replaced the V Link II with the Berkley USB converter and he said the sound was "very close" at almost 4 times less the price. | |

The noise floor lowered dramatically and the Hydra 2 will not limit amplifier current. I am a big fan of Shunya... | |
| Wyred DAC 2 volume control I would run the volume control on the dac wide open and adjust each level at the input stage on the dac. You can do it from the dac's set up menu. For example, I had way too much gain when using the coax 1 and 2 inputs, so I adjusted the gain on e... | |

| Does Anyone remember I used a PD65 for 10 years until I sold it on e-bay. I wish I had kept it to use as a spare transport. It was a very smooth player with the Legato Link filters. | |
| Worst CD player Rok2id"Maybe the rest of your system was responsible for the 'crappy' sound." Nope, my 35K system sounds wonderful, thank you. The Marantz not only sounded like crap in my system, but it also wouldn't read many of my disks. After 2 trips back to f... | |
