Al, Thank you again for your vast audio knowledge. I shot off an e-mail today to specifically to Mark O'Brien about whether any of the inputs numbered 1, 2, 3, can be used as true pre-amp out. I owned a Creek 5350SE Classic in 2007, and eventually...

To Lowrider:  A very interesting suggestion, assuming there are integrated amps that either provide  sound quality equal to separates or  offer superior sound to them.  I have done some research before I launched the current thread about separates...

To Almarg,  A very worthy suggestion. However, the Sphinx v.1  i was informed  by  the Rogue Director of Sales has no pre-amp out for a outboarded basic power( seems incredible)  HOWEVER, I DECIDED TO   CHECK THE MANUAL WHICH SAYS IN BULLET POINTS... 
Conrad Johnson 18LS pre-amp line stage vs CJ ET3 pre-amp tuner:.Best sound quality?
Thanks guys.  There are approx. five ET3's on sale 5 on ebay and  1  on Audiogon,  I was able to find three reviews on the ET3, and all praised the product.  However, my main concern after looking at the back of the pre-amp is:  will it accommodat...

Schussor, Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your time and comments. The Rogue Pharoah does have many of the features I require, and more power. However, i question whether it will sound much better than my Rogue current Rogue Sphinx v1  and es...

To Almargm  Thank you for your advice, but you need not apologize for a " "negative post"  You are usually right.  I feared that  the ARC 150.2 and 300.2 were just  spin offs of another class D version. I mentioned in other threads in the past tha...

To Johnny R.   Thank you for recommendations:  I am pretty much sold on either the ARC 100.2 or the ARC150.2.  I like Odyssey amp products, but ARC always delivers high quality products. But this can change as I get closer to making a decision.How...

To Lowrider, I  never have  checked with US Audio Mart; probably thinking they were just an "audio" version Craig's list. I will check them out in the near future.

To Lowrider. In reviewing reviews about the ARC150.2, I found out about the ARC 100.2  The reviews on it on the "audioreview" blog praise it to the sky as a "music lover's amp".  There seems to be a very strong consensus about the excellence of th... 
Audio Research Amp Shootout
Looks like the ARC 100.2 greats the door prize.  If it is 100 RMS, that may not be enough power for my upgrade plans.  However, I will have to check out a few reviews, and see if is still worth the money for its sound quality.  I am unaware how ol...

To Lowrider. I think I have seen a few reviews of  Parasound A-21 amp that were very strong about its performance.  However, this company has never impressed me, and its expensive integrated amp looks like cucukoo clock with mutiiple  features I d...

jl35   Thank you again for your recommendations   I believe you mentioned the Rowland Capri before; it which looks stunning but how does it sound??. The Odyssey Stratos is a viable alternative to the Khartago, but it is heavy and big, and I have a...

Jl35, I am concern that the Khartago's 130 RMS  may not be enough power should I go with Maggie's .7 speakers. or even another box speaker. It is only 30 watts more than Rogue Sphinx integrated, and so about 3db more volume or head room.  But, I  ...

Thanks to all have responded so far; My reply to Lowrider  indicated I would reply to the others separately in one reply context.  However, it was lost according to Audiogon..... AG claims it was a glitch!!   To mensch; I saw the ad but don't know...

To Lowrider.  I will probably keep the GET 7's for a while, until I give them a chance with better electronics. I have on and off considered the new Maggie.7 I would prefer to stick with all SS, but would be open to a tube pre and SS amp combo.Tha...
