| Integrated amp for tube lover Another vote for the Dynthesis Titan A100. I had the A40 in my system for a long while and it had more than enough power to drive my audio note speakers. As stated above, the DAC is an exceptional deck as well. | |

| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations Thank you @pindac , there is a lot to unpack in your post. I have thought about upgrading my phonostage, but not sure what direction to go. My local is great, he will let me take most any piece I want for a home demo. Last night after listening... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? I just got back from closing weekend of Dead and Co at the Sphere. My daughter drove to Vegas to join me, she is now on the bus. It is a joy sharing music that you love with your kid. Great shows. John | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations So I went with what @karl_desch recommended and purchased the Koetsu rosewood from my local shop, the owner and his son just left after installing it on my turntable. All I can say is WOW! The depth, weight, and detail is simply stunning. I am ama... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations I am curious what you would do in this situation. I have found a Koetsu Rosewood signature that has recently been re-tipped for $3150. I would need to find someone to come and help me set up my cartridge as I have never done that. Option two... | |

| Integrated that blew you away I am going to agree with @larryi. I have had the A40 in my system and wish I didn’t sell it, I would now like to use it in a secondary system. Has a great built in DAC as well. If you want a bit more power the A100 is a nice upgrade. The only reas... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations Thank you for the recommendations. Was listening to my stereo last night and was loving what I was hearing. While I feel my digital side is very good, I am liking vinyl more for recent listening sessions. Now for a couple of more questions. I ... | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) I am going to second @chayro and recommend Audio Note speakers. They play well with tubes and they have numerous finishes. They work best when placed in the corners of your room. Here is a nice pair of Here is a stunning pair. I have the Audio Not... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations Thank you @jasonbourne71 and @tooblue for your recommendations, now time to do some research. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge on Audiogone, but what I read in the analog forum is often times way over my head, but I'm learning. John | |

| Upcoming Concerts?! My next concerts are 5/15-5/17, leaving Virginia to head to Vegas for a three night run of Dead and Co at the sphere. Did 2 weekends run on their last residency, I think I’m gonna to go out for closing weekend as well. | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers I agree with @larryi. I have listened to many of Vu’s, owner of DejaVu audio, creations and they are amazing. When I decide to replace my Audio Note speakers I will commission Vu to make me a pair. John |
