| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable @soix No problem spending $3-5k on speaker, interconnects $1-1.5k each, but not fixed. Running balanced DAC to pre, pre to amp. RCA possible. Digital system of CD transport, streamer, DDC and external clock with higher end Audioquest coax, Tubulus... | |
| 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... | |

Same with the volume controls. I'm not a tube guru either but am not familiar with these tubes at all. I'm guessing most fol... | |
| 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. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I hear Amir calling your name | |
| 6H30 Tubes @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 ... | |
