I've recently had some alone time with the baby stax 2050 system and am blown away by how it sounds AND the fact that it is the most basic desktop model they offer. I'm now tempted to look into something like the O2/727amp or the 4070 signature II combo. Problem is, Stax is damn expensive. My current source is the VDA2/VAC1 running lossless files and a markl style modding of the D5000. It would obviously be cheaper for me to upgrade my amp to get as close to the higher end stax's as possible, my question is - is it possible? I've never enjoyed so much speed, resolution and texture from any dynamic HP and I'm not sure it's even possible. Please help me! I've already sworn off singlepower and RSA (too expensive - may as well buy the stax if I'm looking at something like the B52 or Apache) and have a sick penchant for SS analyticality and detail. I'm one of those neutral/detail freaks.
I guess I should add - Moon audio sells the 4070 combo for $1675+ shipping, so to be fair let's keep the amp's cost down to about $1000.
Cheers!
