| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? I own a Rega Apollo, and I added an outboard DAC (Hegel HD11). It made a big positive difference. More open sound, more precise, more details. I have since moved to computer audio, but adding the DAC was not even subtle. | |

| Simaudio I7 vs P5.3/W5.3 Thanks for the info, Nirav! I'll try something similar soon.Pat | |
| Simaudio I7 vs P5.3/W5.3 Niravp -You mention that you bypassed the internal pre of the 5.3. How did you do that? Did you use the input that bypasses the stage gain (A4)?I own a 5.3, and I'd be curious to use it as an amp, with a separate pre, just for fun .Thanks,Patrick | |

| Cambridge 740c or Rega Apollo with Linn and Sonus Kiwi - What exactly does Hi Fi News say about the Cambridge 840C compared to the Creek and Naim, and what were these last two company's products?I am looking to upgrade from the Apollo, and was maybe considering the 840C, Creek Destiny and Naim CD... | |
