Schiit not that Good?
I own a Freya and love the fact that it uses 6SN7 tubes that can be "rolled" to your listening pleasure. Bought it when the Freya 1st came out. I use the Tubes Mode most of the time, but it is really good to have the Passive, or JFET modes as well...

Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
I'm not familiar with T+A gear. I just read a couple of articles about it. Sounds like a winner. Swiss is usually very good, and extremely expensive.I'm a Krell guy myself using separate rebuilt Vintage Krell Amplifiers. My current favorite is the... 
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
Just thought I would chime in on Constellation Integrated. Audio Advisor has a DEMO unit for sale in their Clearance section for $6,888.00. I have bought many DEMO items from them and they are always mint and sometimes great deals like this one (n...

Sorry guys. I didn't want to start a war about what is proper sound. Bass slam to me is bass that is not muddy or lacking in the proper decibel level relative to the rest of the system. When I can sit and enjoy music digitally, I want to enjoy the...

D’ag Progression Monos are more powerful and larger than the Momentums. 1,000 watts/ch at 4 ohms and $38,000.00 new. If WCSS can get a 25% discount or better for a pair (around $27,000), that would make the D’ag Progressions not such a bad move. D...

I would like to hear more about the Magico's sound. Especially compared to what you remember about the Martin Logan 15A. Just wondering how the vocals and instruments sound on the Magicos. From what some tell me is that the Magicos put out a sound...

Do the D'ag Progessions use the same tech as the Momentum? And if they do.... at $38K retail, will WCSS be able to get them with a discount? My money is on the Dan D"Agonstino Progression Monos in a comparison with the Pass Labs XA Series. On the ... 
Budget/value SS power amp recommendation
NuPrime STA-9 Class D. 120 watts/ch. Beautiful open sound. Can drive just about any load a speaker can. RCA and XLR inputs. $649I owned one, and it beat out many amps costing much more. Can be bridged for more power. Only way I could get better so...

Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
Here is something to chew on. I own a Schiit Freya preamp. It has 3 ways to listen to it. It also has balanced inputs and outputs. 1:) Passive Mode (a straight thru listen) just a volume control 2:) JFET Mode a nice solid state preamp presentation...
