New Cary DMS 700
I ran my 600 directly into a pair of Odyssey Kismet extreme monos and it sounded pretty damn good but knew I was losing bits under 80 or so on the volume control.  Inserted a Rogue Rp-7 and boy did the system blossom. The lower end really improved...

My thoughts exactly when it came to Cary DMS 600   Can listen forever. No fatigue ever. Install an EtherRegan in front of it for a nice bump in SQ.

Was hoping it would be a noticeable improvement. Thanks for checking

Larrymanadgnplease try the SD card. The finest sound available on the 600 so sure the same with the 700.

The 600 sounded good out of the box but probably a couple of weeks for top performance.   
Aurender question regarding which tablet ?
Buy a 1st generation IPad wi-fi for 150 bucks. Makes a great remote. I had a N100 and a A10 and work perfect.

Do not think any have been shipped yet. Hopefully the 700 will have the detail of the Lumin T2 without the etch over long term listening in a brighter side of neutral system.  The T2 is a real nice player if you have the matching  room/electronics... 
FUSES, Finally!?
Looks like you may have integrated power cords? Install an IEC connector and upgrade your power cord. Much cheaper and an larger sonic bump. You can always get a 3 for 2 deal on the SR. I have 4 blacks on the rails of my monos and an Orange in the... 
Paradigm Persona B vs 3F vs other competitors - any experience?

Paradigm Persona B vs 3F vs other competitors - any experience?
Is that a Musicbook?  How you like it?  I have the 5 fs w/ a swarm sub system. Are you getting enough low end with the 3f’s?  Can’t help but think you would need a sub w/ the B’s.   I just switched over to Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables and t... 
Preamp choices:Short list
I have a Rogue rp 7 and really enjoy it    Not a real tubey or mushy sound.  Nice deep layered soundstage ,with just a hint of warmth , Upgrade the stock JJ tubes to a good NOS and you will be in good shape.I can only compare to a Modwright Annive...
