drummerman said:Na, almost feel bad it got that far (actually I do, feel bad that is)
Tried to make a point where, I guess, there is no point to make.
It is what it is to different people.
My apologies Plastic Penguin. Happy 2013!

Does warm & musical mean coloured?"
To me, yes but I'm no expert.
As for recording too harsh then could be recording or could be your system or both. OK I have seen your system don't know about that gear. But yes some of my cds sound harsh/poor esp. high notes like cymbals, put that down to recording/pressing and a bit to my system.

Drummerman does make some good points. Amps do sound different with different speakers because of the differences in load they are presented with, and usually it is the speakers that do the warm/cold/clinical bit.
Besides, I'd upgrade the speakers and worry about the amp later.
BigH said:"Does cold & clinical mean accurate?

To me, yes but I'm no expert.
As for recording to harsh then could be recording or could be your system or both, what speakers do you have?

(On second thoughts, he probably wouldn't)
drummerman said:What this forum could do with is some stickies with technical basics which newcomers (as well as some regulars) could use to gain some useful knowledge and I include myself there too. I am constantly learning and in the process have acknowledged that I have repeatedly given questionable advise in the past and I'm sure still do. Its not just about measurements and/or how things work/interact but these are important. Anyone not interested in that aspect is simply adopting 'the head in the sand' attitude, likely to make costly mistakes and at the end of the day not understanding a thing about this hobby ...

miggyboys said:Shooter - hence why I advise people to just use their own words to describe what they're hearing; one person's idea of 'clinical' may be heaven to them and awful to someone else. It may also be the sound they're after, which means the description itself is not necessarily negative or positive.
I agree that we don't want to be referring back to a table of definitions every time we read a sentence. The english language has a wide enough vocabulary for everyone to get across their viewpoint!
Anyway, back to my original post - any more experiences of the aforementioned amplifiers from anyone? I'd welcome more views!

i have a Primare a31.2 power amp driving Neat Motove 2 speakers, I am currently using a Primare i21 as a pre but thinking of changing & using an m-dac.
i notice you have both, does the mdac offer significant improvements as a pre than the i21 if you have tried it that way ?
