Help With New Preamp Decision
Of course, based n personal experience, I would recommend the Backert. All the prices you ave listed are MSRP. Talk to the dealers and you might get some discounts.  
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions ๐Ÿ˜
@philjoletย , Yes, I know what you mean. I am in a house with dedicated 20amp lines and I am not returning the Puron. It brought a bit more of the following 3Cs in my system - Clarity, Correctness and Cohesiveness. And that bit is very much notice... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions ๐Ÿ˜
I should have never checked back on this thread. Crazy audiofools!!  
Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years.
I love and own the ProAc D48R. I am simply stunned every time I listen to them. I have never heard the 3.8, so I cannot compare the two. But if you are looking for a dynamic speaker with vocals to die for, then these should be auditioned. I have n... 
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
@ja_kub_sz , Before you sell your T+A, make sure that you have have enough hours on the PCM side of the DAC. There are a couple of posters on the HeadFi forum who recently found out that the PCM section took about 200+ hours to come on it's own. ... 
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
Congratulations @ozzy on the new amps that are keeping you busy! Out of curiosity - have the fans ever come ON? Those amps look robust.

Updated Okto DAC 8 Stereo firmware and now I have DSD issues
Did you reach out to Okto and let them know the issue you are facing?  
Parasound JCM 250
@bigtwin , how about your own speakers? They might go down pretty low in impedance, right? And this is a Curl design - so I am guessing it is a no-nonsense design and probably does what it says. I remember from quite some years ago when an online ...

Preamp with Parasound A21+ amp?
BTW, posts like these always reminds me of a user - almarg - who is no more with us. He would have provided the details on why the Rotel might sound sterile and which impedance preamplifier you should be going with, etc., to make your system sound... 
Preamp with Parasound A21+ amp?
I have the Parasound A21 amplifier and the Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 preamplifier. Together they make fantastic music. For your budget you can go to the Extreme version of this preamp.  
Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share.....
Hope you had taken the pictures of your cables. Once you receive the fake cable, you might be able to compare and then send them to Audiogon and PayPal. Also, if possible, you should post his username on the forum so that rest of the folks can avo... 
Do people tire of audio forums?
For me, Audiogon = "check out any time you like, you can never leave". Kind of like addiction.
