| Magico Mini II vs V2 with Pass amps Peterayer, I have sat in front of both these speakers for long auditions because I was curious regarding the "magic" of Magico's.For my taste I found the Mini 11's much more musical and pleasing to listen to compared with the V2's. The Mini 11's w... | |

| Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ??? Worldcat, would you be nice enough to share some details regarding what the Magic Cubes did in your system to improve its overall performance. Thanks in advance. | |
| Accustic Arts Tube Dac II or Berkley Alpha DAC Rja, your assumption is quite correct. The Berkley retails around $5000.00 and the AA Tube DAC retails for $10500.00. | |

| Review: AetherAudio Black Box Tweak Well guys, I finally got my two pairs of Dr. Smith's, also known as the "Mad Scientist/Sonic Wizard" Black Boxes and it proves that this device works its sonic wonders equally as well on planer speakers as it does on reference box enclosure speake... | |
| tubed dac paired to tubed preamp, worth it? Dan001, take a look at my system, I use a tube based DAC and a tube linestage which is sounds superlative in my rig. Another important aspect is to get the right NOS tubes to get the synergy you want in your system. | |
| Which One Amp for the Magnepan 3.6's? With no direspect to you, Stickmen451, I won't to drive my 3.6's with the amps you asked about. I would recommend you audition a Pass Labs X-350.5, or if you can swing it in your budget a pair of Pass Labs XA-60.5's. I drive my 20's with a pair of... | |
| Accustic Arts Tube Dac II or Berkley Alpha DAC Fm540i, I too own a AA Tube Hybrid DAC and have compared its performance on redbook to the Berkley, the AA DAC for me was much more musical/natural sounding to my ear's.

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi Bryan, here's the answers to your questions:1)I do not use any room treatments except an Acoustic Revive wave generator tweek. My house is a post and beam home and was built to allow my MG-20's to really "sing" in this very large open space wit... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi Dev, I have not changed the tubes in the AA DAC because I still find the long plate Bugle Boys still sound best to me. I also have read what you posted on the thread regarding the "BEST" DAC in the world, which is so silly of question to begin ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi Pubul57 and Karl, you both have had me thinking about the issues of what Pubul57 refers to as "warmth" vs less resolution/detail. I totally agree with what Pubul57 says about system matching/context, I have heard very good pieces of gear not sh... |
