Here is photo of my MSB set up. The amps are on the Stilpoints. I have a ceramic tile floor which has proven to be not so good for all my previous mono amps.

Re: New MSB S500 and M500 Amplifiers
To all friends using the MSB 500, how long did it take you to run them in?
I just took delivery of my Select and the M500, and burning them in. The Select drives the M500 directly.

Re: New MSB S500 and M500 Amplifiers
Thanks. That sounds familiar to when I upgraded my Vitus SS103 to the monoblocks SM103. Even though in hindsight it wasn’t really necessary for my room size and speakers.

Re: MSB new pricing model
With the new pricing, the Ref seems like excellent value in the range. Heard it with the S500 stereoamp. Very impressed.
Can anyone share how much an improvement is the Select 2 over Ref?

Thanks Ken for sharing. Intrigued how MSB can do so well with its preamp module vs a standalone full fletched one. Do you play phono and if so, is it also via the MSB preamp?

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
