Re: Magico M6’s
Congrats Jay on the new Reference DAC. I’ve been so happy with my Select II DAC. It blows me away every time I listen to it. The Reference DAC will also get you up there in the Stratosphere...

I also agree that it would be nice to hear the new amp on some different types of music once it’s burned in.

Re: Magico M6’s
If you want to get serious, add the Boulder 2160 or Soulution 711 stereo amp. The Magico M6’s deserve nothing less in my opinion.

Re: Gryphon News
I’m sorry Mike. I know how much effort Phil and you put into that brand. Their amps are truly superb. I don’t know what the senior management is thinking over at Gryphon.

MSB just came out with brand new amp footers that are supposed to be superior to the stock footers. I would suggest ordering these if you don’t already have them.

Re: Magico M6’s
Sounds great but I prefer the Soulution 725/711 combo to anything in their 5 Series. I used to own the 520/501 and the 7 Series is on an entirely different level in my opinion.

UPS has gone way way down in my opinion. I would only ship FedEx or one of the Logistics companies now. Radiant Logistics is a decent one.
