Tube Preamp with TAD Hibachi's
I like the idea of a CJ but should I be concerned about phase inversion? The Hibachis have two inputs and from what I understand is that I can connect my HT prepro and my preamp to these amps at the same time. Just turn off the one not being used....

Mantaraydesign, I have a Samsung 56" dlp tv. It is only 720p. I also have the oppo bdp-83 and the picture is absolutely awesome. It is better than with the oppo 980 that it replaced.

Where is my weakest link?

Where is my weakest link?
Thanks for all your input (except for John). How about adding an oversampling DAC (like the Music Fidelity) to my Rotel and replacing my amp with a better one? Would this work and would it be worth it? Thanks again for listening.
