| In need of a preamp with a prominent display Benchmark LA-4 or their Headphone LA-4 equivalent. HPA-4 I believe. I own for my 2 systems, LA-4's. Made in NY, 30 day trial period, RORY is great to deal with. Reasonably priced, and delivers the goods. Check them out, very highly regarded. | |

| Next step up on the streaming food chain? I own (recently) a Bricasti m1 SE with their network card. Great deal, but, still very expensive for me. I listen to only rock and roll, also 60' & 70's. I use Qobuz and Audirvana, and couldn't be happier. Just saying: Robert TN | |
