The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
Well, the tough times now may be a memory in 5-8 years. I wouldn't call the demise of high-end audio quite yet. There is SO MUCH 10-30K amplifiers and speakers out there now, it's really a prestige arms race as much as it's about sound. Adjusted t... 
Anyone ever seen a Krell KSA 150 with black face?
O.K. Good information. I gotta admit looks are very important and I never liked the KSA 150 /250 handles. Their flushness seems functionally useless and at 100 lbs. handles that are useful are a good thing. In black the handles look much nicer, IMO. 
Why is my Krell PAM 7 marked PAM 5 on the back?
Meaning it's a PAM 5 marked as a 7? 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
I see that Mhdt now offers a Paradesia+ for an extra bill. Has a torroid transformer and ??? I'm glad I don't suffer from Mark II envy or I would kick myself for buying my "standard" Paradesia two weeks ago. 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
I like the stock tube fine, too. I put in a NOS 1950's Raytheon 5670 blackplate just to get oldskool tube quality. I use a 75 ohm coaxial now, but am looking for advice / experience with fibre optic cable.

Dang! What luck! As far as sound; really full & smooth. Hard to describe, but there just seems to be fewer holes in the stream. The response seems balanced low to high. I have a Softone Model3 player that had 98% of the Paradesia sound except ...

I noticed two annoying build mistakes. The four feet are not level and the unit rocks back and forth a bit. I will unscrew a foot and shim it to level. Also, there is no central support for the top cover and the plastic sags 2 or 3mm in the center... 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Gmood1, Yep. I bought it yesterday afternoon. I kept missing them so had Ebay alert me when one came up and I got lucky. It had been sitting there for five hours. An eternity with all the attention these are getting. 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Hi all. I just purchased a Paradisea and am waiting for it to come. It's amazing to find a piece that is so cheap, and pleases almost everyone who hears it. I read above that some are using a Monarchy to "feed" the DAC. Is this some processor betw... 
How much does your system retail for?
My first post here. Uhh...$8125. Much of this stuff is from the 80's, and the prices are all retail at the time when new. Infinity RSIIb speakers (1985) $3100. pair Quicksilver Mini Mono tube amps. (2001) $1100. pair Belles One 100 wpc amp. (1986...
