which monoblock
I am using 0.5 meter speaker cables from each mono block to each speaker up front. This does restrict where the amp can be placed in releation to the speaker. It also means that moving speakers around for placement is limited to small incremental ... 
Boulder 1050 or 2060 which one is better ?
The Boulder 2060 "requires" a 30A 220V circuit for proper operation (it can run off a 30A 110v circuit, but that is not the recommended configuration). Boulder amps feature microprocessor controlled "slow ramp up" of the power supply. If they didn... 
which monoblock
I am extremely pleased with the results achieved when I upgraded my nice multichannel amp theater to a mono block layout up front (and a matching stereo amp in the rear). It will help to have a dedicated power circuit for every amp in the room. I ... 
Wadia 861 Owners...
I'm running my Wadia861se GNSC into a Boulder 1012 pre-amp. I never seriously considered going direct to the amps for three reasons: 1. i wanted a greater range of volume setting than just affording by staying near the top of the Wadia digital att...

First pre/pro and hopefully last
Having heard a many of the pre/pros mentioned above, i just wanted to state that they don't all sound the same. The higher priced models tend to have far fewer features, and MUCH better sound quality.The best sound coming from the Theta, Krell, Cl... 
Yamaha CDX-910U
it was around $600-$800 retail in 1988. mine is buried in the garage somewhere. drawer sticks a little, but plays fine. yes, it does have some mass to it, at least when compared to todays mass market machines. other parts of it are pure mass produ...

DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs
out of the above, i have only auditioned the dCS stack. I didn't think that the dCS compared favorably to the Boulder 2020 Advance, using the dCS Verdi transport. The Boulder had a far more natural sound, and was every bit as detailed.
