agreed , they are superb

extremely well priced dac/pre with xlr and remote for 850 from a well known seller https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?73694-PS-Stellar-Gain-Cell-DAC-Pre-amp

like a lot of hifi !!

however i have just read this in a review Having these switches on the underside means the Nova has to use the supplied spikes (or alternatives) to allow for clearance. However, the clearance is tight and unless you have long, thin fingers, you might struggle to throw all three switches with the spikes in place. The Nova also features DC cancellation circuit, which rebalances the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, thus reducing transformer hum. This technology is usually found in the company’s Syncro power cable, or most recently in its new Syncro Uni box. https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/isotek-evo3-nova-power-conditioner/ ah this refers to the new evo version !!

yes i had the sigmas , i believe if you want dc blocking you can use the isotek syncro with it . dont quote me on it . i may be selling mine soon

5698 for the new arc integrated , seems good vfm compared to normal high prices https://www.stereonet.com/uk/news/audio-research-announces-i-50-modular-valve-integrated-amplifier?fbclid=IwAR1Zfr4Hc0ZoepPGhSFdssJGn46n1Z7W6KNCkUlAE2lZM0i5YuvG44L1OoE

occassionally i look at the 6000 pound power cables and wonder who buys them

loads of stuff here that may be of use to someone https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?73661-Jantzen-Audio-Denmark-Job-Lot

yes many threads result from this magazine , many are not very complimentary so hold on to your chair !!!!

now sold apparently ,

superb album from the masters Klangwelt

ah thats good rick , and i believe alan shaw likes the damping factor on them

the hegel 390 and 590 get huge amounts of praise from mags including hi fi critic , they are used regularly at shows by a certain british speaker manufacturer whose products are very popular all over the world

the b&w 607s2 anniversary is very near your budget for that small room , you will be very surprised by them . they are far better than you think also dynaudio emit 10 are going for around 350 new but no experince of them
