    Kewl. While at Peabody's fave shop in St. Louis, Music For Pleasure, I picked up a Cambridge Audio DVD89 for a hundred bones. Evidently they're eliminating the Cambridge line in favor of NAD. I figure I'll throw it in the bedroom.
    So, I broke into the palace

    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    I'm trying to pry a Music Hall DAC25.2 outta their hands as we speak. MH had sent them a couple of units for a photo session that they maybe willing to sell. If not, then I'll pick one up, to try out, at the end of Feb.

    Excellent point...

    You're right though, most items will function at a greater efficiency when not lobbed through the air. I tried this with a Kramer Stagemaster DeLuxe American and a common residential window and it certainly proved true.

    I just called them after I responded to your post. The sales rep said he would send me whatever he has since I've been in the queue for several days on this one. But if I don't get a demo or open box model, I'll have to settle for a full-priced new one. We'll see what arrives in a few days.

    I had been debating between this one and the CA one, but this one had volume control so I put the order in right away. The lack of volume controls was a deal-breaker because I want to go straight to the amps with it.

    Drugs are very bad when making decisions like whether to buy $30k monoblocks...very, very bad.

    On the other hand, I'm pretty glad that Jimi, Keith, Trent, Miles, and a host of others had them at their disposal when makin' music.

    ....just sayin'.

    LDB, did you get your DAC? If so, what did you pay for it?

    Nope, last email from Tim was that they had to let all the sales staff audition it first. He hasn't even provided moi a quote yet.

    I'm thinking due to the exchange rate I'll wait till end of Feb. Did you get yours yet? I was hoping that you received yours so I could get your opinion on it.

    Anyone have any experience building one from a kit, some of those look interesting.
