Man, I really love your gears and wish to have the budget to upgrade it.

Two SA-250s? Are you MAD? LOL.

No, but I have just finished upgrading my SA-250/IV to an SA-Reference, and the M-16p to a Tautoro.

More clarity, sparkle, and finesses -- with the same subterranean bass control. Love that Plinius gear!

Honestly, they both work fine. I think the Maple have a better bang for your buck.

But right now, I'm quite enamored of Battle Rock Studios and their really great Myrtle plinths. Cheaper than the Mapleshade and much, much better looking.

I'd be interested in any feedback you have about the Terrastone platforms. I see you've got experience with Mapleshade as well. Have you compared the Terrastone platforms with anything else?

Hello Socrates, I can see that you M16 matches really well with the SA-250. Have you thought of running 2 SA-250 as mono blocks?

Sorry this took so long, but the Alpha DAC is one extremely fine DAC. LOVE it.

Hello Scott, I am considering purchasing a Berkeley Alpha Dac and I would like to know your thoughts, please.

Thank you,

Aaron
