MC5, did Punk Rock before anyone else.

Run them in for a couple of weeks before trying to make a decision.   
Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya
@blkwrxwgn  The one piece of Schiit gear I tried was the Loki. It was noisy, made pops through my system when engaging and disengaging the EQ from the loop on my McIntosh integrated.  The Bellari EQ I ended up buying made no such noises.  When I ...

High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman....
