The interesting thing is that now WC is using the Magico speakers.  I wonder how the amps he used in the past would sound with the REF 10, Magico setup?I bet most of those previous amps would absolutely sing.enjoy

WC, what pre amp and speakers did you use with the Boulder amp? Thanks 
Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...
as with most things collectable, it usually comes down to finding that one buyer looking for what you are selling.It may have absolutely nothing at all to do with the price.  Just a matter of timing and the right web site.If a potential buyer is l...

bill_k;  do you recall which Boulder amp WC used? and also the speakers.I know (in my opinion) that Boulder (although quite nice) are very overpriced, so it is a wonder that WC managed to off-load the Boulder amp and recover his costs.If you can't...

Viber6:  I haven't heard the Krell and DAG amps side by side.  That, really is the only true way (matching levels of course) to make a determination realistically.  However, I can say that the newer Krells are more open and not nearly as bright as...

Lets also remember that Whitecamaross' decisions to purchase equipment is based on his real world expectation to resell them at a later date.  This seriously limits the uber high costs equipment from his list.  Unless, he can "borrow" something.  ...

New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23
I agree that in my opinion the ML23 is a better amp.  That said, If it were me I would get a ML23.5 instead. That amp is very, very nice.  it has different input circuitry from the 23 and I've owned two and still have one.   believe it was the las... 
My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS)
Yes, but some of us have multiple source devices and the Pre-amp also serves as a control unit for switching and volume control, balance, etc.enjoy 
Factory checkup just before selling...
If you are concerned, simply ask the seller if  the unit was repaired and what the repairs were.  serviced is not the same as repaired.  While this may not alter my opinion about purchasing, I would like to know.enjoy

I really have no problem with a manufacturer that designs their equipment to work best with their own equipment.  If Spectral sounds best with Spectral, then so be it.  What I still think is that WC should try the amp that mates best with the REF ...

Jetter; I don't know about that, but I am still waiting for WC to get his hands on some Neoliths.  I feel that as long as the "side" discussions are taken from subjects brought forth in the OP's posts or even introduced and continued by some, I do...
