ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III
I cannot give you the usual audiophile speak, but I had the VSi60 with some Vandersteen quatros, and I thought it was a great amp. Lovely mids and extended highs, very nice imaging, etc. OF course, those speakers had a powered lower end, but I hav... 
Any experience with AR Dsi200?
No, I have not and I cannot find one local to check out. Had an ARC tube integrated (VSi60) and it was great, but obviously this is a different beast and a different system. I have read those that you have posted, but I was hoping for some input f... 
Any experience with AR Dsi200?
thanks.More info is welcome, and I will try to edit my post to ARC. 
LFD Integrated Zero MK III
I love it and the NCSE. Buying the NCSE, but it may not really be worth the difference. The III sounded super to my ears. Caveat is I am listening to jazz/vocals/acoustic stuff on some HArbeths. I know, the combo is the "in" thing, but they do wor... 
The Harbeth phenomenon
I am enjoying the little PsEsr very much during some in-home testing. Not the Quatro Woods I am replacing, but very, very nice for my purposes. 
do monitors require a subwoofer?
I'm moving from Vandersteen Quatros with built-in subs (great speakers, BTW) to small monitors (probably Harbeth P3Esr) for aesthetic and flexibility purposes. As I test these little speakers out I am less inclined to get a sub, at least right awa... 
proac D1 or harbeth p3esr
I have not heard Proac in a long while, but am in the process of demoing the P3ESR in my home. I am not a dealer, nor an expert. Just an amateur musician and music lover, so take my comments in that light.I really like the Harbeths. They are wonde... 
benchmark and apogee
just bumping this aged thread up as I am interested, too. 
Starting over
I am just throwing ou my first thought so make nothing of it!And I have zero interest or relationship, etc, etcWhat abot a Peachtree Decco and a pair of small monitors like ERA D3 or something similar but less expensive, used? You'll need a source... 
newbie with basic question, please
thanks, all, very much. keep the rec's coming! 
newbie with basic question, please
Thank you!All in the same room - an home office, actually, with several computers. Hard to know about the DAC/pre - I cannot find any near me to try, so it'll be a shot in the dark. 
newbie with basic question, please
thanks.Yes, cables are, indeed, implicit. As for the output, I assume Apples will work with a Benchmark DAC/Pre, but will check. 
monarchy DAC-pre vs. benchmark DAC-pre
Douglas:Thanks!As for the system, it is a system in evolution. I have 2 pairs of speakers and will keep the ones I like best after I have played them a bit (B&W 805 nautilus and Harbeth M30). I am deciding about integrated vs. keeping a procee... 
cayin A70T vs. Rogue Cronus vs. Prima Luna PL2
Thanks for your comments so far.Interesting as I have also heard that M30 and tubes do work... so I guess we'll have to play a bit and see.Any more opinions, keep 'em coming!Thanks, again. 
Linn classik and Harbeth M30s???
thanks, Joey54. There is not way for me to listen to Harbeths - my interest is piqued by what I have read, and what I have learned about my own tastes.As for the amps - again limited local fare. Wondering about Cary or Cayin, Naim and the like, bu...
