I started with a Primaluna PL2 w/photo stage. I added a CDP, a TT, and a Tuner.
took the Photo stage out, sold it and bought a series of 4 tube Photo Stages settling on a Hagerman Cornet II. Big sound difference. Got Hooked. Bought a used Decware Mini Torii( dual mono int) Added a DAC and Mac for Streaming.
I like that I can change anything in the system, I can even add a pre to the mini torii.
