| My “Dream” system needs a preamp I agree with two already mentioned. Aric Audio and Linear Tube Audio, both excellent. | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 The Oppo 205 has the ESS 9038 Pro, their flagship DAC. It is a very good DAC. I had my 205 modded at Modwright with the full tube stage mods and separate power supply. It sounds incredible. It’s worth keeping and upgrading. My opinion of course. | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? I’ve tried many cables and got off the merry go round with the Cerious Technologies Matrix Cables. I’m very happy with the tonal quality of them. His recent USB cables are amazing. | |

| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... @arhillb, the DI’s in DC are long gone. | |

| The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier @jmolsberg, many of these mods are now stock in the MZ3. | |

| Any thoughts on GamuT Audio’s current status? The GamuT Audio’s RS3i stand mount speaker is one of the best I’ve heard and yes expensive. I choose the TAD ME1 stand mount for less than half of the price of the GamuT and they’re just as good. |
