| 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...'. | |
| Pure analog system with high power Is your stated budget just for the amplification? | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i I once owned the Pathos Classic One MK II. Lovely amplifier when paired to right speakers. Not the most powerful 70WPC amp on the planet. The instruction manual shows how to use a pair in mono mode. | |
| Looking to Try a Passive Preamp I have always known the output impedance of the Jolida Fusion to be 600ohms. One reason I paired it with the BEL. | |

| Upgrading entry level system Well, within budget and, sans streaming, having the required features, you might look into the Yamaha A-Sxxx line of integrated amplifiers. They all have internal DACs, phonostage, and subwoofer output.The audioengine device for streaming may work... | |
| 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. | |
| RCA Interconnect. Those Optimus7s were great little speakers. Soft dome tweeter paired to the small 3-4" driver made for good balance. Covered the midrange very satisfactorily. |
