Hallo Clennon,
Here are your votes/points from the Netherlands.
My brother has a Levinson 383. It is a great amp. It sounds realy good. He had it paired with a sony scd 555 es, revel performa speakers and nordost cabling.
It sounds great. But with all audio alwys try to keep all the components at the same level.
But off course the source is the most important one.
There is a new one the 585 with dac etc.
It sounds great. I myself bought the T+A PDP 3000HV cd-player/sacd-player/pcm-dac/dsd-dac all in one. It sounds great.
Your cabling is allso important. The NBS black label interc/speaker/power cables. Amazing improvement. I can recommend them to you (i have no company shares (yet)).
May i ask you a question: i am looking for a 100/110v Sharp sm-sx300 amplifier (marketed 2005 ). Any idea where i could buy/find this in the US?
Hope to hear from you.
Robert
