| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! With a reference to an upgrade in resolution and soundstaging to an existing quality system, and assuming the speakers are end game, the amp has proven compatible with the speakers, the pre compatible to the amp, and the source components are comm... | |
| Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k? There is more to the choice than just the power differential.There is more to the need for power than just the sensitivity spec. The sonic difference between these amplifiers, as it relates to ones own preferences as heard driving ones speakers ne... | |
| Canare 4S11 I just purchase 50' of the Furez cable to try out. May run double shotgun. Also have some Canare 4S11. | |
| Less than satisfying sound with non-audiophile recordings I agree with upgrading with DAC and transport. I would think twice about replacement of the BAT integrated. What power amp do you have? | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) I also have the Pass XA25 driven by a 6SN7 tube preamp (Aric Audio). As I believe one responder stated, the XA25 leans more to the neutral side than other Nelson Pass products, highly transparent. I would look towards a speaker that leaned toward ... | |

| How many of you are digital only systems? Was all vinyl till 1990. Bought a CD player at that time. 2010 went all digital, though still have a TT. Just not using it. Use streaming to identify new music which I purchase on CD. Looking to purchase a streamer for my main system. | |
| Music for setting up speakers Headhead, that 1st Hot Tuna album is great. Always one of my favorites. A system set up right puts you there in the club. | |
| Help with first cable upgrade. Yes, often brightness is heard as detail until after some time listening it is heard for what it is. Listener fatigue sets in.Though I believe the Loki is a good device and has a place in some systems, in your case I believe you should save your f... | |
| Recapturing my youth I appreciate your approach. Good luck in your quest. | |
| Help with first cable upgrade. Since they both sound better than what you have been using, I would continue to test the Toshiba against the Sony 700. After longer term listening you might actually find you like the Toshiba over the Sony. I might also suggest you upgrade the st... |
