Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range
I just bought the Micromega AS-400, for the discounted price.  It is an amazing sounding piece.  Replaced my Classe CAP-151 with it.  Only quirks are DAC is only usable in streaming mode, and due to EU privacy rules - when you switch out of playba...

Need integrated amp for Sonus Faber Concertos
I have the Concertos with Classe CAP 150 integrated and CAL CL 10. The combination is very round and pure. Only thing about the Concertos is that they like a lot of power. Thankfully, the Classe has it to spare.I was dead set on Arcam FMJ great qu... 
The best CD Player for the money
I always loved the sound of My CAL CL-10 (a solid 5 disk changer) with 20 bit DAC. Sounds great, and for several years was a Stereophile recommended component. Listed as better than most single disks, with the convenience of a changer.I see them c... 
NEW Sonus Faber Concert Home Models
I auditioned the pro-acs you have, but my kids were a major concern... little poking fingers are not $2500 speaker friendly. So I auditioned and bought the SF Concertos (not called Home) last year. They were and are incredible! Auditioned vs. The ... 
Sonus Faber vs B&W
Gthirteen, I bounced back and forth a lot, before making the decision. I was also auditioning against Pro-Ac and Acoustic Energy in different stores. I listen to An Amazing mix of music from Jazz to Electronica, Classical to HipHop, and for me, th...

discharge noise on shutdown
thanks topkat! will unfortunately bring it back to shop. bummer when you spend this kind of $$$. nterestingly with my "new" speakers i haven't heard it anymore. Maybe I am a "negative" magnetic field as my CAL 10 has gone back to shop-2x in 2 year... 
Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity?
i own the Cap 151 and Love it! couldn't find MF LOCALLY to audition but am still interested. Also checked out Arcam Fmj 22 and Classe just sounded so much smoother. Please let us know which way you went and why 
Sonus Concerto
Were you unhappy with the match you have? I own a CAP 151 and was going to purchase concertos this week. 
Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players?
I love my CAL-10 and have seen them used for 600-700, but at the time was also auditioning an NAD changer for appx 500 new that sounded VERY musical. I will check my notes for the model number 
Classe Cap 151 vs Krell Kav 300i
I was trying to make the same decision, and was also auditioning the BANG FOR THE BUCK arcam FMJ22. After much listening bought the CAP 151 this week, it sounds incredible. I originally thought it was a little brighter in the midrange than the kre...
