Looking for new Integrated/DAC
+1 on both of those. The Halo is a screaming bargain IMO and the Devialet is amazing, especially with SAM- Darby

Need An Amplifier That Can Make Any Speaker It's Bitch?
I couldn't agree more, as is the case with my friend's son. He loves the amplifier and it suits his purposes and should prove reliable for many years. Everyone has their own journey in audio and his is just beginning:)- Darby

Amp Recommendations for Magnepan 12/QR
I concur. Magtechs are simply superb,in any system on any speaker/s As a less expensive alternative though, the Parasound Halo integrated would also work very well indeed. IMO, it is one of the best kept secrets in integrated amplifiers- Darby

It was not me who used profanity and shouting. I expressed a POV, based on actual auditioning experiences. This is billed as a friendly forum,go figure. Perhaps you do your thing and I shall do mine. Nothing else seems to be tenable [/I][/I]- Darby

One month back. In Sydney, at a friend's home, in his system, in my system,on a variety of speakers and music.

Neither actually, but it would seem that you cannot be convinced so I won't bother. I do know of may people who have made D.I.Y amplifiers, often with startlingly good results and the Redgum design reminds me of a few of them. I have no malice aforethought to Redgum or anyone else, but I really...- Darby

The use of profanity and shouting is not a particularly good method of debate. It tends to indicate bias and emotion which is un necessary and in this case hypocritical. Calling peo[ple who have opposing views to one's own shiils or armchair engineers achieves nothing. This seems like a free...- Darby

I heard the RG 65ENR Black in several systems on a wide variety of speakers. It looks and sounds like a home made kit amplifier, which may be good or bad depending on your POV, but $2.5K is really stretching credibility. Production cost from China would be minimal. There are plenty of amplifiers...- Darby
