Which one do you think would be a better choice?

I'll using it to watch movies and listen to music mostly. A little bit of gaming too. So soundstage is pretty important for me (one reason I chose AD700's too). I listen to mostly rock (progressive, classic and some metal). It will only be used at home so portability isn't a problem for me.

So which do you think would be better for me?

Also, about the power supply. If I decide to choose the mSeed, the site suggests an Elpac power supply. But I can't use one in the UK (different power grid). If I bought a voltage converter, could I use the power supply? Or would I have to use a different one completely? If so, could someone link me to one that would work please? I don't even know what I'm looking for here.

Thanks.

I own a Porta Corda MKIII and soundstage quite wide. I dont think you will regret it if you go with the PC. I haven't heard the mseed so I cant comment on that. Also I have a PC MKIII (non usb version) for sale if interested just pm me...

If soundstage is a big priority I wouldn't get the mSeed. The mSeed is very clean and smooth but it doesn't have a very large soundstage. Also, if you are going to be using the power supply extensively, the mSeed setup can be a little goofy. I say this as someone who uses and loves the mSeed.

Thanks, this is the type of response I was looking for.

yea constant power supply to it isnt that great of a situation. hence a good reason for my to pick up another amp for home use and use mSeed for portable. :)
