@jjss49  certainly I hope the Aries to  soften the highs without losing detail. I love soundstage and I have it now when I get this hybrid rogue pre-amp it won’t be my first ever. I was using a node as basically a PreAmp that I could switch, and ...

Thank y’all. I have a Rogue RP-1 and a Denefrips Ares ll coming. I also just bought the First Watt J2 to heat the Cornwall IV’s up, and my Mancave in the Winter. I’m wondering if I will leave my Cary SLI – 80 tube amp and replace it with this Firs... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Go for fun. Go for less power money needed. Go Klipsch… hear more of/in the songs you’ve listened to all your life. Now “new”!

I also forgot to say that I run “cleaner power” through a battery backup tower, like one used in computers which includes a Panamax power conditioner plugged into the chain. I think my voltage ranges from 120-125 on readouts… I’m hoping this helps...

@spawn350  thanks yes I looked up ACRO 10000T. Nice machine. I wish it had a remote where I could change the friendly preset channels while I stream which is what I love about the Bluesound node.

@vthokie83 Vthokie83 thank you so much for educating me about digital cable. I’m still not clear on how the node 130 connects but I’m sure I can call Crutchfield. It sounds like one end of the RCA is analog and the other end must be digital? Beca...

@vthokie83  Really…thank you for the info! adding to my Bluesound Node v3, as a DAC first time, will be the Denafrips but an Ares ll? A really great used buy  it comes with a SPDIF cable? I’m not sure about all these interconnects… options… and ... 
My history with treble.
I have a NAD C316BEE V2 basic clean amp. It plays through Klipsch Cornwall 4’s. Klipsch are alive. Treble alive. And just a simple BACK TURN of the treble knob eliminates listening fatigue. So easy, yet as audiophiles… this solution bothers us KNO...

@audphile1  i got your drift. And I bought the Rogue RP-1. I took all these wonderful opinions and suggestions in. The reasons for the reasoning. It just makes sense to firstly allow my Bluesound Node3 to run through a hybrid tube preamp. I may e...
