yeah i was very pleased when i first hooked up my conditioner. amazing what some stuff can do

it's hard for me to put into words what happened to the sound, it's like the music is playing out of the dark now... if that makes any sense.... :p

the best i can say is that before, if i had my stereo playing, you could hear that the stereo was playing.  now if it's playing, you just hear music

This darkness in the background is exactly what I noticed.  What really affected me about the MR1200 is that I didn't think that there was any noise before.  I did not notice that there was any background.  The balanced power just blacked out everything between the notes.

Got it all setup. We've been shopping for a new stand for awhile... really having a tough time finding just what we want. Before anyone asks, the unit has plenty of ventilation it's not getting too warm :)








You should definitely upgrade your source if that Toshiba is what you use right now.  I upgraded from a $80 Samsung dvd player to a Music Hall cd-25 and the difference is night and day with my headphone rig (better bass response, midrange! and the player is quite smooth).   Great looking amp though.

why don't you read this....
http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=22154.0
do a search for Toshiba 3960 on AudioAsylum while you're at it...

it sounds fantastic, actually. I'd put it up against some serious "high-end" cd players.

my Bel Canto DAC 2 will be here next week, can't wait to do a head to head comparison between the BC 24/192 dac and the internal on the toshiba....

I hang out on head-fi so i've heard of that model, based on what people have wrote, it is a great budget source.  Some folks have modded there's too, buncha nut jobs.  The reason what i said was that i used a budget samsung dvd player and i thought it sounded fine...until i got the Music Hall...what a revelation!   However, since you're getting the dac, no need to bother then right?   ;D 

Kudos to the amp, it's a beauty!

Congrats on the new toy.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it stacks up to the 1.1
