Need Help From The Resident Experts
Erik................i looked at at them but they don’t have a full tape loop or full processor loop. I would love a prima Luna dialogue preamp with the tube rectification but they don't offer the features I would need.   I also would Ned a input f...

George.....Thanks but not interested. I need a full function pre with remote at least 3 line inputs a tape loop and input for my turntable. The rogue RP-5 seems to fill the bill, plus it’s tubes. I have always had a tube preamp in my system and li...

Need Help From The Resident Experts
I appreciate all the responses, but the bottom line is I want a different preamp.  I am much older now and I would like remote control, phono input and either a tape monitor or processor loop.  I have been looking at the Rogue RP-5 and wonder if i...

Marantz SA 8005 break in
When I had my SA-8004, it had that treble hardness for the 2 years I owned it.  The player probably had at least 2000 hours on it and that treble harshness never went away.  I sold it and bought an Esoteric instead.  There was no break in time wit... 
Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You
Amused to Death by Roger Waters.  It took me years to get through the entire album as before I was listening to just a few choice songs.  The Q sound is excellent as well.  The DSD version is incredible and the soundstage extends far beyond the sp... 
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
I have both the MFSL cd and vinyl and the vinyl is much better although not nearly as good as an original pressing I bought back in 1973.  The cd also seems to have much less gain than other cd's.

Peachtree Grand Integrated X1 vs Parasound Halo Integrated
I believe I read it in one of the Audio rags, maybe Stereophile, TAS or Tone.  I do  remember reading it is a John Curl design.  I'm not a fan of Class D yet.  I have heard a few of them and find I get listener fatigue quite quickly.  I good frien... 
Peachtree Grand Integrated X1 vs Parasound Halo Integrated
.These are 2 very different integrated amps.  The Halo is a John Curl design using discrete output transistors running class AB where the Peachtree is a Class D amp which IMHO is not ready for prime time.  I am using the Halo integrated in a secon... 
Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's?
Why not give the Triton 1 and 2+ a listen?  They are a very different speaker than the 7.  I have 2 systems with the Triton 1 in one and the Triton 2 in the other.
