Peachtree Nova or Jolida Hybrid Integrated
I bought the peach tree idecco at christmas time. The nova is rated at 80w so is better I'm sure. The amp in the decco, rated at 40w seems like the weakest 40w amp I've ever heard. CANNOT drive b&w 602s even in a very small room. I have a Joli... 
Peachtree Decco vs. MF V-DAC
I have the newer idecco version and I agree that the amp is rubbish. wish I would have just bought the idac. I also say the preamp in the decco is sub par. Dac is the only usefull part. Unhappy altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if the v-Dac is b... 
thoughts on NAD M3
I also chose the mf a5 over the m3. It just sounded more relaxed. Also the top end was more extended. I thought the nad was better than most I tested in this price range but was easily edged out by the a5. I think maybe the nad suffered in sound q... 
Are upgraded power cables really worth the money?
I was looking into some very inexpenive ones today.(signal cable magic cords.) The guy gives a money back guarantee with them and they will only run me a couple hundred refundable dollars to try them out. Does anyone know anything about these. Are...

Best $1500 150/side Integrated w/phono?

turntable feedback
my turntable is a pro-ject rpm5 it sits on a sound organization stand. the main speakers are B&W 703 and probably go down to between 35 and 40hz. The crossover point on my rel 305 is about the same 35-45. The feedback comes in the form of a hu... 
Arcam FMJ CD36 or Musical Fidelity A5?
I have heard both players and in my opinion you cant touch the A5 at the price they are going for these days. My local Hi fi dealer sells both arcam and rega. After so many glowing reviews I decided to buy an apollo. my amp is an mf a5. It was nic... 
Rega Saturn and Apollo-How good are they??
I had the good fortune of having a dealer who was willing to let me demmo a couple of cdp's in home before purchasing one. As was said earlier there is much to be said about synergy of ones system. The apollo in my system was hands down the better...
