I will be interested to hear your further impressions once you have
gotten used to the Parasound... They certainly make a good amp, but I
have noticed that different amps really mesh well with different

Just got my Parasound A23 today. Man, what a huge difference! Although
it's not necessarily a good one. It's replacing an AudioSource Amp Two,

PPS,
It wasn't a problem having to do with the Lavry, or the Benchmark, or
the Bryston, or the Classe DACs -- if you want the full run down. It's

I fail to see why, instead of responding to the substance of what I
have to say, you feel an impe

$9,000 Harbeth Monitor 40s don't count as revealing. Shame.
