| Berkeley Audio Design - is there a reason why these go up for sale if they are that good I recently upgraded my digital front end and ended up purchasing the Berkeley Reference 3.

While the Berkeley house sound is leaner and more engaging. In the end I thought the DCS sounded better but I enjoyed the Ber... | |

| What to get after Mark Levinson 360DAC? I updated from a ML 360S to a Berkley Alpha DAC. The 360S was slightly more strident than the Berkley. I found that 44/16 on the Levinson and 96/24 on Berkley to offer comparable sound. With 44/16 music I preferred the Levinson to the Berkley. I t... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? I would start with the brick wall behind the speakers, then ceiling reflections. Make sure your wrap the panels. You do not want to be breathing fiber glass. | |

| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I had a similar issue with my system and it turned out that the pre-amp needed the long warmup. One time try turning on the pre-amp 6 hours before your listening session and see if that makes a difference. |
