| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP kclone I think the OP is translating into Canadian dollars. $6500 would be around $8200. And to the OP I hear you on wanting meters but I strongly urge you to try out tubes if you don't that itch may never go away! | |
| Oyaide or Furutech plugs +1 VH Audio, Chris just made me a Furutech FP-S032N with F1-11 gold connectors and it sounds fantastic. He was extremely helpful answering questions as well. Furutech makes great products I could care less if they are from Japan or Taiwan thought ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? A couple from Jerome Sabbagh, read a Stereophile profile on the fact he's an audiophile and dialed up a couple of his releases on Tidal. Listening to "The Turn" now and "North" next. Pretty solid stuff. | |

| Oyaide Cables kclone it doesn't matter how you hook the speaker cables up as long as you do it the same on both amp and speaker end. I hope you like your new speaker cables! | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? That looks like a pretty well balanced system to me. At the risk of having Schiit rained down on my I would say the Freya is indeed the weak link. So why not just upgrade the preamp? What makes you think you need an integrated? That looks like a p... | |
| Falling out of love with tubes Get a tubed preamp for sure. I personally find c-j preamps a bit dark but YMMV. Also not quite sure what you mean by "going direct from my computer or tape" how are you controlling volume? Overall though a good tubed preamp won't cost you any deta... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? A volume control is an attenuator pure and simple that is all. If you don't attenuate the volume you will have no speakers or eardrums left. | |

| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? "Last century materials", sitting here listing to a pair of speakers, not Wilson Audio, made of plywood with paper and silk drivers. So last century but damn they sound good.
