| Quick take on the MBL 6010D Reference Preamp Hic, I know the AR Ref 3 has got great reviews and I have heard it, it's quite good, however I really believe it is not as good as the MBL Preamp in such specific's as dynamics, bass, clarity, and believe it or not what I call a "musicality/organi... | |
| Pass Labs 350.5 or 600.5 owners--breakin time..... Talon4, I have had the 350.5 and now run my system with XA-100's, both took about 200 to 250 hours to reach burn-in, after that there is a slow process of change towards their final performance signature. I would love to hear your final opinion re... | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Gliderguider, with all do respect, I disagree that the Audio Note DAC," has gotten short shrift" on this thread. I auditioned this level Audio Note DAC over two year ago, as I reported, and found it to have a great midrange but lacked extension on... | |

| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Redwoodgarden, I would suggest you put on your audition list the Accustic Arts CDP MKII, its a great sounding piece and is in your price range.

| Did you listen Pass Aleph J or Pass XA30 or 60 ? Elduende14, I can't comment on the Aleph J because I never have heard it, but do run a pair of XA-100's in my system.
