| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 Boa,If you can stretch your budget by a couple hundred dollars you could get a pre-owned or demo Audio Aero Prima DAC, which is the same DAC section as in the Capitole II. I'm using one with a cheapo Denon 2200 as the transport with great results. | |

These guys are class acts!I currently... | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? A second vote for the deHavilland UltraVerve. I've had mine for only a few days, and it keeps getting better as hours are logged on it. It's quite stunning, and has exceeded my expectations ten-fold. The eval won't be going back! | |

| I completely lack fiscal discipline... I just bought a couple of preamps. Do I have a problem? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? OK by me AVGURU...I'm flexible on date, time, and place. You name it.Too bad we don't have a moderator who would oversee connectivity of players in the respective system so that we don't have any biases or preconceived notions of whats playing, dr... | |
| How to see if there's DC at my AC outlets? It comes as part of the Joule VZN-100s amps. There are the two monoblocks, and they are connected to Joule's variac. It supplies controlled AC voltage to the monoblocks. I suppose this way your amps always get the proper voltage that you dial in (... | |
| How to see if there's DC at my AC outlets? What if I test the hot to ground or neutral to ground?I tried isolating just the amp, with nothing else plugged in, and the variac still hums / buzzes. PS Audio has a product called the Humbuster that stops DC from getting to your electronics whic... | |
