Thread praising DAC1, shill comes on and completely derails thread arguing that DAC2 is better, and as a result thread dies and goes to purgatory. Shill doesn't disclose that he sells and makes a living off mods for DAC2. All is well with the world. 
Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio
I have no thoughts on the amp, but I can speak to the speakers. I had them in my system about 6 years ago, and strident or harsh in the high frequencies are the last descriptors I ever thought I would hear in reference to them. I'm glad you are ex...

Todd, Broken Bells actually got me out of my Bon Iver loop, which I was afflicted with since last summer. Two great artists, all the same.

Name your favorite sax solo.
Allow me to throw some ballads into the mix. I nominate Joe Lovano on Charlie Haden's Nocturne for his work on the song, "Transparence". It embodies great musicality, poise and emotion. Also John Coltrane's opening effort to the song, "My One and ...

A 'First' System for my Son
I second the headphone option simply because it is the best way to provide the best sound for lowest financial output. I am in the process of selling off my 2-channel speaker system and adopting headphone listening. I am planning to go back to sch...

Good one guys. Belated thanks. Lost track of this thread. 
Tubelike SS Power amp
The issue I seem to be picking up with the responses here is the varying ideas of what "tube sound" is. Perhaps the current trend of tube amp designers aiming for a more neutral sound, which encompasses SS traits, is what brings about much confusi... 
Speaker Wire Recommendations?
In your price range, Anti-cables are worth a try. I used their interconnects throughout my system at one point. They were a great value, providing a clean focused, somewhat dry sound with excellent bass. Im assuming their speaker cables share the ...
