| Standmount speakers 4k-8k I don't own either, but would suggest the Penaudio Cenya or Cenya Signature. You'd have to drive to Nashua to Fidelis AV. I'm not affiliated with the shop, but did spend a fair amount of time listening to the Cenya Signatures while shopping compon... | |

| VTL TL2.5 Preamp I owned a 2.5 for a couple of years, and it is a real bargain. The optional phono stage is quite nice as well. Tubed with Mullard/Telefunken tubes, it really soared. The MultiCap upgrade from VTL was worthwhile, and inexpensive. My dealer let me b... | |

| tubes and analog While it isn't clear as to whether or not Raul knew or was made aware that the Atma gear was pre-owned, calling the attempted listening session an "audition" certainly was a bit inaccurate. When I think of an audition, listening to a dealer's prop... | |

| Ugrades on the Linbrook Signature Monitors Several years ago I used DH Labs cabling in a second/budget system, and had an idea as to its sonic signature. I had Ty build my Linbrook floorstanding monitors with the Cardas cabling, and I couldn't be happier. It's worth the little extra $$$. |
