| What would you upgrade next if you had my hifi ? amp and speakers would go, if it were my system. a planar would replace the revels and a nice tube amp would replace the levenson amp. i can't comment on the digital front end. | |

| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. the evidence that high frequencies are attenuated should be provided. instead, one may think they are reduced in spl, because one listenes to a stereo where high frequencies are elevated.live music beats any stereo.its like preferring a copy to th... | |
