Integrated amplifier suggestion for Revel M16 - Help me with specs!
I just noticed a Moon by Sim Audio i220 Integrated listed here for 850.00  Check it out.  I have absolutely no affiliation with the seller or company. 
Shindo Auriegies a good impedance match for Primaluna Dialogue Premium amp?
Have you considered the top model Prima Luna preamp?  I would think they would be a perfect match and give you more of that glorious Prima Luna tube sound. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Analog FM Radio via a MagnumDynalab MD 100 tuner.   FM 94.1 in Rhode Island.   Very relaxing. 
Preamp 6922 tube help
I like the 6h23neb tube the best as it has a nice all around sound.  I believe I bought them from The Tube Store.  Uncle Kevvy at Upscale may have them as well 
Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers.
I had a pair of Vandersteen 2Ci speakers in my living room for 18 years and only sold them to get the 2Ce signatures.   I liked the 2Ci speakers more.   
Looking for upgrade advice
If you want more dynamics in a large room, you need bigger speakers.  Changing them will make the biggest difference, good or bad.  After that, more power unless you buy efficient speakers. 
Audible Illusions Modulus PreAmp>Best Amplifier Match Ever!
I mentioned the tubes because many people put in 6922 or some exotic Telefunckin or Mullard tubes and then bitch when they die after a month or two. 
Audible Illusions Modulus PreAmp>Best Amplifier Match Ever!
When I had my 3B, it was mated to an Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp and I got many a goosebump.  You must use the 6h23neb tubes in the preamp to get this. 
Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's....
Rogue RP-5 tube preamp,  $3500 new 
T+A PDP3000HV
The internals on  SACD/CD player should be quiet.  My Esoteric player makes no such noise and their VRDS NEO transport is one of the best in the business. 
The Music Room
I have bought from them a few times.  Not only are they legit, they have quick shipping and offer good products as well. 
Warm Sounding Cable
Yes, it is just with the Sony.  The Esoteric player is fine. 
Has Anyone Had a Good Experience with HigherFi??
I sold them a pair of Von Schweikert speakers (VR33) back in January 2015.  I had no problems and the transaction went very smoothly. 
Absolute Monster SAM Turntable
Very "busy" looking and an mdf platter.  Better not get it wet or it will warp.  Chinese overkill. 
Dual Golden 1 Turntable has low volume even with phone stage??
Does the Dual have a built in phono stage?  If it does, you need to put the turntable on the aux input and should have plenty of volume.
