Any Yep Roc Records Fans ?
Eleni Mandell has released four excellent albums on Yep Rocy 
New integrated amp
To continue where I left off, the initial attraction to the MW (before I heard it) was power, looks, simplicity, boutique brand made in the USA. And pricing. I just beat a 10% increase and with the CDN dollar being close to par at the time (I boug...

the end of my post was clipped off when the site jammed up on me , will complete later when it cooperates  
New integrated amp
Sorry, haven’t been here for a week.Main source is a Bryston BDA-3 DAC driven by a Cambridge CXU. My old turntable and new Moon phono stage are rarely used. Speakers are Amphion Argon 3LS. Started when I felt I needed more power for my old KEF 104...

jtweed,I have a Modwright KWI 200, bought it new 4 years ago.I’m also in BC 
SACD with LFD/ Harbeth
I have not heard the SA14S1 but did have its little brother SA8005 in my home for a demo recently.If you are worried about midbass and a slightly rolled off top end then I'm not sure Marantz (assuming the 14S1 and 8005 have the same house sound) i... 
OPPO 103 VE 105.....
The trouble with using an external DAC with the 103 is DSD, very few DACs can accept it via HDMI without unwanted conversions of some kind or other 
oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ?
I've got the 105D on demo right now. I quite like it now that it seem to have broken in a bit. More open highs than I'm used to, which is good, without being fatiguing.Also excellent as BD player, better than my older Sony, and a joy to use for mu... 
Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200?
Courant, how did the ARC compare with the Modwright?I bought the latter but am considering swapping it out for the Hegel (or ARC if there are any around) 
oppo 105d straightup
Had the 105D for two days now and finding it sounds rather abrupt for lack of a better term. Leading and trailing edges are sharp, would like things rounded out a bit more (whether or not rounding makes the player more or less "accurate").It's not... 
Hegel H300
For the shipping weight of the H300 to be 55lbs the box, styrofoam and manual would need to add up to 12 lbs. Not likely IMHO 
Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
I've heard good things about the Ryan R610 
Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition???
Earlxtr: I have a Modwright KWI200 integrated. In retrospect the Revels weren't terrible, but they were definitely too bright for me. The KEF R700 I tried around the same time had smoother treble IMO
