Tick, tick, tick, tick .....

Do you hear that?

Well you got me thinking about the S200 amp if I buy the MSB dac, I mean when I pull the trigger. My dealer says S200 is extremely revealing and needs to be paired up with an MSB dac or it's to much. He also likes VTL amp. What's your opinion on the S200.

In my system the S200 was the absolute creme brûlée on top of the most exquisite desert. It had to go toe to toe against the Sanders Magtech, 500w/8ohm, it barely gave anything away & the sound was an "oh my" moment.

Well I order some MSB gear today my hand still shaking from writing the check. Looks like it will be the Signature dac with the clock and all the trimmings, Diamond power base and Platinum cd IV. It took me three years to find what I was looking for in a digital sound.

I like to thank my dealer David Michael Audio in Michigan. He's a standup dealer. He shipped to me all this digital to demo and didn't ask for a credit card or charge me for shipping to PA . Now that's what I call a Platinum dealer.
