| Should I eliminate my preamp? You've done it so do you prefer the sound direct vs your preamp? Your preamp being some 38 years old may be in need of a refresh and certainly a retube as suggested above. | |

| Just confused about where to start Congrats on the speakers I hope you love them! And good luck with finding an integrated that Sansui is Class AB since you were asking. Never heard one but they do have a following. Looks like you have some good options and plenty of budget to fin... | |

| SW1X Audio Design DAC II Absolute Top Tier Ref NOS DAC wig congrats on your new DAC! I read about that on HFA also, love that site, one of my comments is at the bottom of the review page.

| Ideas for my next DAC....? If you like the AN DAC so much why not get a streaming device with the network connectivity you need and run that into the AN? That's what I do running an Aries Mini into an AN DAC-3 Sig, mine doesn't do hi-rez but pretty sure the more current AN ... | |
| Joule electra la 100 m111 Please recommend replacement volume potentiometer . If the cleaning doesn't work and you end up replacing the pot any good local tech should be able to do that. | |
| Streaming Or get a streamer from a company like Auralic or Bluesound, or various others and connect the streamer to your DAC. I use an Auralic Aries Mini in that configuration and really like it. | |
