blindjim,
It seems to be more of a desire to make a change than the current set-up is not working. I still find a lot of pleasure in long listening session, but curious about newer gear and what it might additionally reveal. The ARC will not be going away, as it will go into second system that currently has a ARC LS17se and that will end up in my office system replacing a Quicksilver LS pre. If anything the Quicksilver will find its way to the classified along with a Classe DR7 I have had since new (yeah, I know...a bit of a packrat).
On all three systems I have mixed a tube pre with a ss amp and I am pleased with all the results. Just wondering what I can improve upon moving up...
Curiosity killed the cat, just hoping I do not kill the sound...
