Philjolet and Danielk141 thanks for your input. Jond, just time for a change. I sold my Gryphon and my Aerials. I'm starting over. I love trying new equiptment. It is part of the fun of the hobby or should I say disease. I am going to keep my preamp for now. I just got a Resalution Audio Opus 21 cdp. and am looking for a new amp and speakers.
