Rogue Stealth vs. Monolithic PS/HC vs. Black Cube
Well, I've decided to A/B about 6 stages and decide which one works best for me. I got the Black Cube last night and for a first listen was VERY impressed!! It's just so damn ugly! Just picked up a Stealth and that will be the first A/B test. On t... 
Looks like I need another stage...suggestions?
Just wanted to update everyone: Black cube is arriving tomorrow via overnight priority. Had family emergency that I knew of, but didn't know he was originaly from Austrailia and had to go back there last week. Still might try either the monolithic...

Well, I'm defintely not giving up. Going to file disputes with Agon, Paypal, and Discover tonight. I just know how long these disputes can take and I am wanting to get my TT setup going before I move. That way, if I need to change some components ...

Should state that the negative feedback was in regards to double boxing in shipping. Yes, not great, but not the worst I've heard. If it would have been "never shipped item," that would have been a different story...Going to try and get my money b...

Better TT or Better Pre? MMF5 vs XII vs Debut III
Also, What do y'all think about getting the speedbox as well? I've heard amazing reviews about this little gem. Esp. with some of the lower end tables (debut, xpression, etc).thanks 
Better TT or Better Pre? MMF5 vs XII vs Debut III
Thanks for the response...Makes complete sense to knock out the cartridge. So, maybe I'll go with the Debut and Tube Box. Get a new cartridge and enjoy it over the next few years. Then, when school is over, I'll be able to upgrade everything. Than...

I should also state that the phono stage upgrade may be up to 1-2 years before able to do so. Starting medical school, so I just won't have the time to worry about those things..

All tube system or Tube with SS phono?

Cain and Cain Noogi vs. Onix Ref 1
Bass isn't a big priority...it is for a office/study space...I will be listening to jazz, alt-co, acoustic, singer-songwriter music...and some rock, but not much.
