soix, I read up on the Herron VTPH. I agree, a very nice preamp, one worth considering. I appreciate the input. Thanks.

ghdprentice there is an ARC PH8 for sale at The Music Room but quite a bit above my budget. However, I have some trade-in value in my old gear that I can use toward its purchase. What I'm confused about is the + and — you mentioned. Is there a P...

Thanks @marco1. Your sentiments seems to be the consensus in this discussion. I am going to try some old Paradigm monitors I’ve had in the garage for about ten years first. If they don’t work out, I will then try some Aerial Acoustic Model 6s I’ve...

Thank you all for your input. I learned some things from all you guys. For example, I had no idea that speaker impedance fluctuates, sometime drastically. I may give Fritz Heiler a call. His claim to fame is producing Tube-amp (SET amp) loving spe...

marco1 could you give me the source of your information and could you explain "dip under 3ohm?" I don't doubt you, I'm just trying to educate myself. I thought sensitivity remains static. Apparently not. Thanks.

Thanks carlsbad2. My Aria's are at a relatively high sensitivity at 91db, that fact was why I chose the 75 watt output amp. I'm considering different speakers to achieve more definition and air in the mid and higher frequencies. In terms of volume...

Thank you all for your responses. I hope to read more. I may go with good cables first. I was thinking about Hologram II. The Audience AU24sx are out of my budget range, even in the used market. I want to keep speaker cables under $1,000. I was al...

Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection?
Thank you, all. I've decided to abandon my attempt to make my Sony unit into a transport. I have a server on order. I'll be able to step up my digital game when it arrives. Again, Thanks.
