    Re: VAC Master 300 Power Amps

    I love the new look in black!! Stunning. I was lukewarm on it in silver. Again, yes it's amazing how much Master 300 beats out the 200iQ. And the 200iQ are still phenomenal amps. The 300 are amps to build an enthralling high-end system around.

    Headphones:     SOTA Nova, Stax T2 (Kevin Gilmore "DIY" Edition), Stax SR-009, SR-009S, L700
