Best Vintage Dac??
Museatex Bidat or Bitstream dac.  I will never get rid of either of them.  The Bidat is in the main rig and have been using the Bitstream on the cans.   
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I have had a Node 2 for a while and regret purchasing it. Because I bought it from a dealer who had a few demo items he had discounted and I could have got the Bluesound Vault for a great price as well.That being said, I love my Node2 but wish I t... 
Amp recommendations with a budget of $675 to mate with...
Schiit is launching their new Vidar amp soon, they said Q1 of 2017 so they are a little late but it should be out any time.  The reason I suggest this is because of their return policy.  Might be worth giving it a shot.  I bought a Freya pre from ... 
Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic
"They don't look any more or less hideous than any other Wilson though, do they??  "No less hideous than the room in the article.  Holy crap, even my polish grandma wouldn't hang those curtains.   
Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2
I have had good results with Cary MB500's and Plinius SA100MK III. The space heater from New Zealand is currently driving the C2's. It is the lowest priced amp I have had in five years and I am lovin' it.

Drubin, I have the C2's paired with the 500MB's for over a year and a half and have not even looked for another amp since then. They replaced Lamm M1.1's. 
Speaker to be used with PC
I use a Tivoli model 2. 
what happened to Cary 500MB?
My last amp cost triple the 500 mb. My next amp probably will as well. No plans to try anything else for quite a while. 
Dartzeel 108
I just sold my speakers to a guy who had the micro utopias. He had the same issue as you. He decided to change speakers because the micros were not giving him what he wanted.The speakers were Verity Parsifal Encores.Just some more food for thought. 
Tubes for Antique Sound Lab 1009
Definitely change the stock EL34's for something like SED or Svetlana. The stock were a bit too forward and midrangey for my taste. I noticed a larger improvement with these tubes than with the others. However I did not choose to spend the big buc...
