Sounds like you have a good match going. Good for you. I am not familiar with the Music Reference, but will give it a look see on the web, now that you mention it.
Forget Clapton, Roger Modjeski is god
Just got a Music Reference RM-10 which replaces a Sonographe SA-250. As I was listening to this or that cut on cd after cd I kept coming back to the same descriptive: balanced.Everything's there from the E-string low bass through Joan Baez' contralto to the shimmer of cymbals. This little 16 pound, EL-84 wonder has brought me to an incredibly high plateau of enjoyment. Building a system is such a wonderful journey.Having put together a Parasound 1000 with an SFL-1 pre and Sonographe main was nice; replacing the Parasound with a Cambridge D500-SE brought the music to life but let through mid and treble hardness that I thought was digital; Kevin Haskins (kevperro, gotta plug a member) power cords smoothed that out some, and now the RM-10 sends nothing but music to the Meadowlark Kestrels. I kept listening for the tube downside, softened transients, loose bass, higher noise level but it's none of the above. Thanks Roger and thanks to the Audiogon members who inspired me to take this ride with equipment and music recommendations. Oh yeah, I have a treat for all of you:
