Thanks, appreciated your informed opinion on this. The reason I am getting the Persona 3F (from my local Santa Barbara dealer) was triggered by your posts. I will get back in touch with you when I get ready to spend some dough..

Thanks for the feedback, especially the NAD and Anthem comparison. I have been discussing with one of your customers the Code #8. He has given it great reviews to me. He also owns the Anthem STR preamp and also likes it with the CODA #8. He was al...

@mifanning Curious to what you consider a non-private sale? 
Your favourite Rush albums?
When I was in high school RUSH filmed the video for Subdivisions in my school. I used to be an uber geek who would point out my school locker in the video. I don't think the girls were impressed by that. Remember videos.

I love Clockwork Angels. Saw them in Vegas for that tour and was hooked on the disk.  
Moderately priced audio
Listed below are some great sounding audio components that I owned or have heard in the recent past. Not the very best but seriously good, especially compared to 20 years ago. Comparably priced products I owned 20 years ago do not come to the leve...

Who is using their DAC as a preamp?
I had a Benchmark DAC3 and was using that direct into the Benchmark AHB2 amp. It was rather good but had some problems for me at lower volumes. I listen a lot late at night, like right now, and I wanted more granularity in my volume control. Bench...

I got into RUSH with Fly By Night,  2112, and Hemispheres but I don't play them that much now. Though still very enjoyable to me. 
Your favourite Rush albums?
@uberwaltz I would tend to agree on your fluff comment. I actually was listening to alternative radio in Toronto during that time and not much RUSH because I was not a fan of the ’fluff’ disks. However, I got back into RUSH when I moved to the US ...

@mgrif104  The M12/M22 combo I heard was with the Paradigm Persona 3F speaker and it was very impressive. Not the best electronics I have heard recently but very impressive nevertheless considering the price and features available. I have heard a ...
