| A decent preamp to complete my setup? Wonder what becom15 chose to do? | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy @cantorgale I heard the Autograph Mini driven by a Luxman 150 tube integrated amplifier. Yes wonderful sound and looks. I own the Tannoy Sterlings. @jond I agree that excessive detail can get exhausting with many (most?) recordings. | |
| Spendor A1 vs Tannoy Autograph Mini's I heard the Autograph Mini driven by a 10 wpc Luxman tube integrated. Great sound and looks. | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? I believe it starts with 'I have an audio system that I enjoy but...'. | |

| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i What speakers are you using? | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 +1 mahler, a great option to consider. A DAC would serve your Node and whatever CD player as a transport you choose. | |
| Recommendations on Integrated Tube Amp around $5k I did not know the Rogue Cronus Magnum could be run in triode mode. | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? Well, I am using a Audio Mirror Tubadour III tube DAC with a Aric Audio tube preamp. Both have improved my systems sonic presentation in a way that I like. | |
| RCA Interconnect. Congrats, you have proven to yourself (at least) that even inexpensive cables are different. The 'right' difference can aid a system. |
