Upgrading from Rega Apollo to Rega Saturn CD??
I am pretty sure you will NOT see made in China on the back of the new Saturn, when that time comes.I think the suggestions that a few others made of adding the Rega Dac to your current Apollo is a great option for you.**** Rega Dealer Disclaimer ... 
What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp?
The idea that Cymbop (and I think a few others on your previous post) mentioned is a great option. By having a DAC with a volume control, you should be able to improve the sound that you are currently getting out of your Squeezebox.In addition to ... 
Rogue Cronus questions...
*** Rogue dealer disclaimer ***EL34's in the stock Cronus. KT90's in the Magnum version. You should be able to use EL34's in the Magnum version with no problems (slight adjustment on the bias).No real audible noise from the units. You would certai... 
Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP?
That's a tough call. The "old" Apollo is really quite a good player, and there are some good deals to be had on them currently. However, I imagine that new Apollo will have qualities that make it an upgrade and a great choice at it's price range.W...

which speakers for low watt power amp?
The Glenairs could be a great option for you (either the 10"s or 15"s). The Turnberry's would also be one to consider.Do you happen to have a Tannoy dealer local?****Please note that I am a Tannoy dealer here in the US****Taylorwww.goldprintaudio.com

Yet another DAC recommendation request
Have you considered a Bel Canto Dac3? For the prices that they are currently selling, you could probably even get one and send it in to BC to do the 3.5 upgrade and still be in your price range.(Yes, I am a BC dealer but do not have any used DAC3'... 
Cary XCiter DAC vs Rega DAC
IMHO, I think the Rega Apollo + Rega DAC comes very close to the performance of the Saturn. The DAC may be a tad warmer and the Saturn a bit more detailed/analytical. As you most likely know, both use Wolfson Dacs that are very similar to each oth... 
Rogue 99 or Perseus?
This really a tough call....As a Rogue dealer, both are really nice pre's with overall sound qualities that I would consider similar. But, IMHO, I think that the 99 would probably ultimately win out as the best of the two in a head to head (and it... 
Cary XCiter DAC vs Rega DAC
Cary and Rega dealer here------Both are really quite nice, especially at their price points. And, as you stated, reviews for both a great.The Cary Exciter DAC does work/match up very well with the Exciter Integrated. But, I bet you would be very h...
