Upgrading my Rouge Cronus 11 to what?
The Audio Hungary Qualition and Octave V70 SE would be right at the top of my list.  Best of luck.   
Class D Amplification Announcement
i've come to realize how much of my perceived need for tubes in the chain was palliative in nature, solving for digititis and/or solid state artifacts introduced in the source and amp stages... in this crazy, unpredictable journey i have been on,...

Streamer creates a Wow experience

$4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED
