Traded Off my SLP-05
I've been thinking about picking up the Cary. Can I ask what about the PSA you preferred over the Cary? Good things I've read about the Cary- good "slam" if that's what you need, Not so good things I've heard- too much gain, keeping the volume k... 
Akiko Audio Loudspeaker Improvers
I just ordered a set from Jaguar after reading the good reviews.  
New Rogue RP-7 Preamp
@charlie123 If you're still interested, I've had the RP-7 warming up for a few days. Running the stock tubes. I think the Rogue trounces the LS17SE in most areas. Detail, bass, clarity, dynamics are all very good. Hearing much deeper into the musi...

Sopra 1 the best audio purchase I’ve made   B&W = dry, unnatural balance Buchard = does not play with the big boys Persona B = they’re in my closet KEF = meh Dynaudio = dry lifeless  Vimberg = matched or beaten by Sopra

Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one
Biggest difference is that one has a phono pre. More features, more money. They both have line pres.

@mulveling Great info, thanks.  
New Rogue RP-7 Preamp
@charlie123 Hasn’t arrived yet. However, I have no complaints with the AR which has mostly been used with a Pass Labs amp. Just trying something different. @avanti1960 I’ve read the opposite in most posts. Not sure what to say.  
New Rogue RP-7 Preamp
@buellrider97 Thanks for this information. I haven’t had tubed equipment for 10 years so I’m still studying the differences between the myriad tube options out there. I plan on talking to Rogue about the 2 tube vs. 4 tube changeout. For sure I’m ... 
USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole
A $100 coax cable can beat a $1000 USB cable. I jumped off the USB wagon after spending thousands on cables. I strongly advise to find another way to get the signal into the DAC. Maybe a DDC.  
Bryston?
I just bought a 4B3 to go with my Sopras. I can't get over the posters who base their buying decisions on a single comment from a stranger lol.
