| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Shahedk, I was very lucky that dear friend and fellow audiophile had an extra reference clamp and sold it to me for what he had bought it for. The retail price is $600.00, he had obtained it for $300.00, don't know were, and that's what he charged... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Mtkhl567, to be quite frank there was three reasons I chose to audition and then purchase the MBL transport: 1) I heard the reference MBL in a good friend's system and was quite impressed with what it did with his DAC, which sounds very much like ... | |

| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Mattheus, unless AA did something radically different in the new transport there is no reason to leave a cd in it when you are not playing it. I never do, I just leave the puck/clamp off the spindle and close the top. Do you have any idea if the n... | |

| Parasound JC-1 vs Pass Labs 250.5 If you read my reviews of the Pass Labs X-350.5 and the XA-100's it will give you details about why I found the X.5 series and XA series so musical and pleasing. When I auditioned the Parasound JC-1's I thought they were quite good, but not in the... | |
