Hey Hens, Thanks for your responce. I just upgraded I just put in a esoteric dv-60 gotta say very happy. The mcintosh pairs very well with the dalis. The 501's really have a nice sound even people who think that mc's have a heavy sound really will be impressd with the 501. But I also for just music I went with the shindo and this pre really makes the mcintosh shine.
The room yes I know not my choice the wife kinda made me keep it here lol, but we are in the market for a new house, and I got first dips on my own room for my toys lol.
What are you running?
