    Things I do not like about the HDMI upgrade.

    While there seems to be no doubt that the HDMI upgrade is a great bargain. There are a few things I do not like: 1.

    Theta Gen VIII series II vs series I

    With the HDMI upgrade and higher resolution digital, interest in the Gen VIII has taken new life. How has experience with both version of the dac. Also, how does this dac compare with newer dacs like the PS Audio model? If comparing dacs be sure to mention which series you own.

    McIntosh MC501s

    I believe this is one of the most heralded amps the company has produced. No Mcintosh forum is complete with a discussion of these amps. I have owned mine for about 4 years now. Still happy with them. I have not found anything around the price point that is better.

    Theta Dreadnaught II vs?

    Do you own this amp? What other amps have you owned? At some point the newer version with Thermatrack transistors will be on the market. The contention is that the newer transistors will improve sound. I know that they allow for more effective bias tracking. However, I do not have any experience...

    Mcintosh XR200

    I purchased these speakers a few months back. They are lovely. Excellent imaging with the lateral imaging being much better than average. They also have sort of a dual personality. The mid-range is beautiful and extremely transparent and works well with tubes at low levels. However, they are...
