| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Honestly, you should look at an Accuphase Receiver running in Class A with or without a Dac card. That would be a perfect match where you can keep the warmth of your tubes but with even more bass control. I have borrowed my friends Devialet 140 ex... | |
| Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors Did you ever decide on what amps/preamp/dac would match up with your Aviors? | |
| Theta Citedel As a Citadel 1.0 and 1.5 owner Theta products are designed fully balanced. So i depends on if your preamp is truely balanced design. I use a Theta Gen VIII gen 3 preamp/DAC balanced XLR to my Citadels and it's an outstanding combo, plus 12volt t... | |
| Theta Miles CD player The next progression is the Theta Compli CD/DVD transport and the later Oppo Based Compli bluray player. I think Compli cd/DVD sounds much better via analog or digital outs then the Oppo 105D/205D as i don't care for the ESS sabre mid bass leanne... | |

| Next upgrade what others have said, you need to dampen first order reflection points, and consider diffusers on the front or back wall. Also bring your speakers out into the room more if they are close to the back wall. Placement is the most overlooked item... | |
| Cartridge help looks like a pretty huge change going from a 2.5mv output to a 0.5mv output. First off the suggested weighting on the new cart is 2.3gram which is more than your original cart. Looks like the low output Ortofon needs a load impedance of 20ohm, a... | |
