I would stay with what you have. If you downgrade to simplify, you'll end up wanting your old system back. Its hard to accept lesser SQ than what you are used to.
Wanting to simplify my system ......
Good morning/Afternoon ,
I have all Audio Research amplification ... Phono 6 , LS27 Pre Amp and Reference 150 , my speakers are Wilson Sasha Series One , I'm finding as I get older that , although my system sounds excellent , I'm yearning for something simpler , like one box instead of three . I'm contemplating buying a Gryphon Diablo Integrated with the optional phono module and having just one box , this would also save on cabling etc and just generally tidy up the rat's nest behind my system rack . I've heard the Diablo with the Sashas in a friend's system and it sounded good , BUT , I've always been a valve guy , my last solid state amp was a Perreaux 2150B back in the ( very ) early 1980's . Am I wrong to yearn for something simpler ?? My cabling is High Fidelity CT1's , with the exception of the pre to power which is Harmonic Tech Magic Link 2 , the other upside of an integrated is I don't have to yearn for High Fidelity's balanced cable when it eventually arrives . Any thoughts / advice / ???
