I can't tell you about the current generation but up to about a year ago the Delius was a very mechanical and hard sounding DAC. People use the Purcell as a band-aid with the Delius to round off its horrible and very digital sound. This wasn't a D... 
Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?
Thanks, this is very interesting. There's always been good sounding SETs and tube amps at this price point but never a high current musical ss amplifier for 2k. Actually there are hardly any musical high current ss amps at any price. rgds, Mama 
Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?
Doug,I guess I need to clarify my 60hz-70hz comment, I know the B&W published specs, but that's not the same as true bass. Of all the speakers that I know I can only think of a couple which can do even 40hz of real bass. As Raul so nicely expl...

Hi Doug,>>Mine plays cleanly down to at least 16Hz, the lowest I can hear, and I suspect larger models would do even better.<<I find this statement bewildering, I wonder how you could hear and then measure this low from vinyl, and clea...

Dear Raul,I appreciate your comments and I am trying to help George. I wanted to alert him to another possible problem area before dishing out for a new cartridge or spending many futile hours with setup, after all you can't get blood from stone. ...

Sorry George,I wrote my previous post prior to your last reply, I don't want to attack what you own, just want to give you a different point of view and something to look out for. Unfortunately these days in the absence of many traditional well es... 
Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?
I know that they're getting great reviews in the magazines but who isn't these days? The 2000 series is highly colored, has a dark over all character with rolled off highs, very limited bass, if any at all, and anemic mids.... you can add upper ba...
