I have a pair of Kharmas for sale that are a steal and no luck so far.
There's a local guy selling both the Dart amp and preamp on Agon. Damn! He just lowered the prices too. Boy does my timing stink.

Wow, that is a great price.

At least you will have a brand new one with a fresh set of batteries

What agony? Go pick it up this weekend and enjoy it. Cancel the D'Agostino order.

What I really want to know is what Adam has found that's better than dCS.

Oh wait, is your signature line accurate? Did you already buy the Dart preamp? Jeez, I can't keep up with anyone on this site.

I think you missed the orientation There was a sign up sheet in the hall.

Yes The Dart pre and D'Ag combo are on their way to me (from 1-3 more months depending on the piece). I can not and would not back out of a deal.

MSB Diamond DAC with Femto Galaxy Clock option is better than Scarlatti (at least on PCM material; playing SACDs Scarlatti still has some small advantage).

Still haven't listened to the Vivaldi DAC at home.

Stereo because the power, I think, is more than enough. Also because I am under the impression from reviews and friends who have heard it that the stereo version is a touch warmer. I preferred the stereo 911mk3's to the monos so my thinking is stick with stereo amps, for now.

I'm going to start reading those memos.

Thanks Adam. I agree that the MSB DACs are great, so when Joe moves up, dibs on his EMM.

Joe, I wasn't suggesting backing out of a commitment, I just didn't know how far along you were. I should have known the trigger had been pulled long ago. I assume you're aiming now.
