Mark Levinson 326s vs Ayre K5xeMP
I compared the K-5xe to the 326 and chose the Levinson.  I have heard the MP and it was better than the standard xe - I have not heard the Twenty variant but knowing Ayre it will be a noticeable improvement.With all that said, I would not trade my... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
LOL @ebm  - love your comments.  :)The SLP-05 is a fantastic preamp and one that I regretfully sold.  The downside is a very limited remote control, volume control only.Sonically, it does it all from top to bottom.

Levinson:It just exudes luxury and quality to me.  I love the way the buttons feel, the way the knobs turn, the displays, all of it.  They sweat the details in my opinion.  Pride of ownership is thru the roof.  I also love the sound.  It's smooth ...

@n80 The HPA2 is no slouch, I wasn't impressed with the AMP line of Proceed amplifiers, but the HPA's were in a different league.

Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u?
Quite the contrary, I do listen to those who have spent their hard earned cash on a product - like I have.  I do not however trust a salesman who just picked up a new line that is suddenly the end all be all now that they carry it.  Where was all ... 
Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u?
