    Rocking the Boat : Nord Hypex NC1200 Signature Amplifier

    Check out the Benchmark AHB2 amps with regards to low measured distortion competition. FWIW, the current crop of Purifi boards being sold are supposedly the pre-production hand-built boards, not the mass produced production boards so they maybe going for a premium price (early limited supply)...

    Greg, Thanks for the quick feedback. The scalable modularity is great. Would a 13.5' x 25' x 8' room that opens in the back be considered a medium size room ? TIA

    I have a couple of questions on the dipole subs if you don't mind. Where are the subs crossed over at and is there any criterion for selecting between SI-[200,300,400,600]s? TIA

    DJ, Thanks for the info. Those are some stout monoblocks. Do you like them better than your former Solution? Please excuse my ignorance on the next question. How do monoblock Stereo DACs work? The D1's are balanced stereo DACS. I see you are only using 1 channel from each stereo...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    I would love to hear one as well, even the stock dual-dac. I have wondered why the OEM TotalDAC's power lines are not twisted or braided. I see the modder has twisted his, but Vincent did not. Does this make a difference ???

    Building a New Computer for my Wife

    The Intel 520 series is a great SSD. I built out 2 Asus Sabertooth/Z77 IvyBridge i7 systems last year. I tried a new OCZ Vertex 4 in the first build and was disappointed with the speed of the drive. The second build included an Intel 520 SSD which bested the OCZ Vertex 4.

    Building a New Computer for my Wife

    I had one of their REVO drives and it was a screamer for a couple of weeks until it died (700+MB/s if I remember correctly). The RAID failed and didn't allow me to format/erase the drive. I had proprietary customer data on it so I was reluctant to send it in for an RMA (expensive 2-week...
