Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range
Rogue Triton 2 is really nice. Haven’t heard a lot of phono pres but it is worlds better than the ones that has been in integrated amps I’ve had or the cheap Emotiva one I had. Well reviewed and AudioMart has one NIB for 1050 obo.   
Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs
I’ve not heard recessed mids with any Focal speaker I’ve heard or seen any evidence of that in measurements. If someone has measurements showing this I’m interested. Love my lowly 836w speakers and they have fought off pricier competition I’ve bou...

Curious where you see those measurements you are referring to?   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Also I had the smaller Schiit for a minute. It was pretty transparent and subtle. Not sure I’d go $1500 for the expanded version.

EQ is one thing. Proper room correction is another. I use both in my main system.

Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
@tunefuldude +1, my upstairs system would be considered overkill by most normies opinions. Probably 13k if bought new at the time it was new which it is VERY far from. Anyway it’s very descent stuff and I paid probably 15% of that. At 100db it’s ... 
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
I’m sure the Elacs are descent speakers and a better amp should make them sound their best. Just be careful what you choose so that it doesn’t limit your speaker choice down the road. Not knowing what speakers you would consider I would stick with... 
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
I'm a metal guy as well. I currently have a Lyngdorf TDIA 3400 and had the smaller 2170 a few years ago. Amazing sound quality IMO and the Room correction is a must have for me. Music especially metal sounds much better after room correction. Ther...

Also would you consider used?   
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
Do you have speakers in mind you want to upgrade to? For example a Klipsch and a Dynaudio likely would want very different amplification to sound their best. If going to spend up to 9k I would think you would want something that would work well wi... 
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
Is this a real post? If so my apologies. 9k for power to a $500 Elac monitor does not make much sense. Also Elac monitor and a metal head does not make a lot of sense either.   
What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
When I think musical I think bouncy and good mid bass. Not necessarily accurate.
