I owned a couple of Cary pieces in past. First one was a new tube amp that had design flawed and was charged over 1k to upgrade to “MKII” to correct their mistake. Next I bought their flagship preamp used which turned out to be manufactured out of... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
I have two F110v2 and the CR-1. The e series came out after I bought them and I always had the same question. What makes the fathom so much more than the e series. I guess the DARO is the answer. Subs won’t do you much good if not calibrated prope...

What integrated should I upgrade to?
I was in similar situation with my second system and ended up getting the Marantz KI PM Ruby.  Made a big difference compared to an old Marantz integrated I was using. Got it for less than half off here on Agon . It doesn’t have digital inputs so ...

Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it?

Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
