Rogue Audio Triton II vs Octave Phono EQ.2
I don't have any experience with the Triton but I do with the Ares and it is one hell of a phono stage. Beats phono stages that are a lot more dough, it's killer

Coupling caps for Rogue audio m180 darks Audyn Ref/ Mundorf supreme
bueller?  
Just bought a Marantz PM6006, and it it disappointing
Anyone with any listening skills whatsoever can hear the difference. I am going through that now with my Rogue m180 darks, just got them back a week ago from getting upgraded. They sounded kind of grainy and incoherent at first but after a week of...

I put my GL kt77s back in my Rogue m180 darks and while they sounded good the kt120s are still a better match, bigger, more open with better bass control. Still open to try the 6L6 tung sol though.

Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
Hello, my first instinct was to to say no, a 3b would not be enough, Maggie's love and require power, but since you said you do not listen loud it the 3b might do just fine. Could you bring it to your dealer and have a listen? Christopher  
Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2
Inviticus you are clueless about revels testing procedures, why the giant grudge against them?  
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
Hondo, my friend has that table and it sounds amazing, with both clear audio and soundsmith carts.  
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
The cartridge is no where near SOTA on any level. You need a much better cart on that table to get anywhere close to your excellent CD player. Like a thousand dollars or higher. Listen to the 2k sound smith made for that arm and table and then get...
