Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
For life huh, both amps I listed here almost two years ago are gone. I now have a Berning ZH230 that is my current reference and I would only trade it for another Berning. My other keepers are a Decware ZMA and a Berning Micro ZOTL.

David Berning, he can't be mentioned enough on this thread. I am currently listening to a 1 watt wonder (Micro ZOTL2) from his latest, more affordable line of amps under the "Linear Audio" name. This new amp makes everything else I own sound broken.

Pontifex, I own the Monitor Audio GX300 Gold speakers and use a Musical Fidelity M6PRX amp. This is a warm and wonderful combo.

PS Audio Direct Stream
I must report the new DS firmware update 1.2.1 is so good it's like a new DAC upgrade but for free. 
Mad Scientist "NEO" Power Cord Review
Ozzy, I too have a Direct Stream DAC. Do you still like this power cord best overall on your DS? I'm thinking about trying it. I have a Lessloss Signature on it right now. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I will never let go of my Decware Zen Mystery Amp. 40 watts of tube bliss and the best bang for the buck you'll find. 
Need a warm amp for bright speakers
I am also a newbie but will share my limited experience. I had a brightness issue with my 2 channel setup. Put lessloss power cables on my DAC, computer and USB device and tamed the brightness quite a bit. My new Musical Fidelity M6PRX is on the w...
