Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
Very nice! Saint519-do you have a local TA dealer/retailer? If so, give a shout-out to the shop that you are purchasing your gear.Keep me posted and happy listening. 
Start over--HiFi rig ---clean slate
Jeff-you will not need (2) DD-15 subs. Instead, (1) REL of any size -these are the very best, most musical sub(s) on the market. Everything else does not compete! Keep us posted and Happy Listening! 
Mark Levinson 326s, an upgrade over the JC-2?
HK and Dave,I would like to hear, I mean, read about specifics. I enjoy the ML sound too. I feel the no 512 is the best cd/sacd spinner at this time.What source(s) digital or analog are you guys using?Happy Listening! 
The best CD Player for the money
Any of you guys listening to an upper-level high end spinner...like Vitus, Soulution, Audia Flight...?I would love to hear (read) about these players timbre, pitch, soundstage, PRat. Happy Listening!

Jeff-it sounds like (no pun) that you have found your future system.Kiko65- StraightWire is a natural, sonic match for Rogue gear. Even the entry-level cables sound great- I was impressed. This is a wonderful example of not spending big $$$$ on ca... 
solid state integrateds that will hold their value
Melbguy1-are you using a Vitus cd player w/ your Vitus integrated?It appears to be a sweet combo! Happy Listening.

Jeff-you are speaking to me on this one;I am in the process of starting over. The past 2 years I have been traveling to various dealers/retailers to audition gear since i have no local action. Here are a few thoughts;I do have my speakers picked-o... 
Pass Labs Xs preamplifier VS. XP-30
Believer,let's just say that I am a believer (no pun) in the Pass brand. Earlier this year I had the pleasure of spending some time w/ the XP-20 pre amp. It is hard to imagine anything better ...like the XP-30 or Xs...whichever model you choose yo... 
Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
Saint519-the Opus line, while costly-yes, will bring out the very best that your gear has to offer. It will be money well-spent. Best of all, you will have the top cables/cords and will not have to upgrade in the future.I am in a period of re-buil... 
NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER
Hunter-what is Esoteric saying about your player going down x2 ?there must be some rationale? Along that breed , I was impressed w/ the Mark Levinson No 512 in current production.Grab one used or demo priced and use the rest of your money buying m... 
Getting great stereo sound from multi channel sys.
Another vote for Option 1- get the best pre-amp that you can afford as it will be the heart of your system! keep us posted and happy listening! 
No audio playing SACD"s
Aoltes-SACD will require additional RCA cables. 1 pair if your are running 2-channel only. If your are running surround sound- 5.1 or 7.1 ...etc., then more sets of RCA cables will be needed. Happy Listening! 
Best subs for music under 1000$
Jlr-look no further than REL. A perfect , sonic match for Maggies.These are the best, most musical sub out there. Even the older models, used, are outstanding. Everything else is junk- a waste of money. Keep us posted on your buying decision. Happ... 
Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
Very sweet! Saint519.LAMM is on my short-list to demo sometime. That is a very impressive system. I do not know that I would not go w/ TA Opus cables/cords. I have heard an all OPUS system w/ the Sasha + Sophia speakers and they will bring out the... 
which of these 2 subs?
Pig-look no further than REL. Simply put, the best in the market- everything else is junk. Keep us posted and HappyListening!-JA
