7. Thanks for looking at my system, simply put its a state of the art CD transport, with a vintage DAC, Class A amplification into my ML Ethos speakers. I find the Electrocompaniet amps an excellent combination with Ethos, they are high current amplifiers, with a bit more presence in the upper bass than most others, which makes them a great match for Ethos (and I dare say other ML's). It took a lot of saving and searching before I settled on Ethos, I'm very glad that I did!

Many thanks - I'm hoping to tidy things up further with some amp racks for my mono blocks sometime soon.
 
I've upgraded my DAC to the DPA PDM 1024, which sounds superb. I've also changed speaker cable to the amazing QED Supremus (which I highly recommend). Finally for now, I've sorted out the racks.
