New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
I've owned Spica's, Apt Holman, Cary (still use SLP-05), and at 65 love the weight, heat, sound and look of my Audions.  Having been in this hobby for 40 years there are a few products that change direction and I believe AGD is one of those produc... 
Nuclues plus bricked
I cant from a technical / hardware perspective.  From experience, it allowed me to load all my music on dedicated SSD, stopped all the interrupts I was experiencing using my laptop as my Roon core and did not break the bank.  Andrew Gillis, owner ...

Any thoughts on any of the Bricasti DACs?    
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
I was looking for a floor-stander that didn’t dominate the room with as full range as possible.  With those constraints I landed on Joesph Audio Perspectives.  I love them.  I’ve changed everything else and they just get better and better.  I’ve n...

Audio research ref 6SE vs world
When I moved away from my integrated tube amp I ended up introducing some “life” back into my systems by moving to a Cary SLP-05 with upgrade NOS tubes.  I’ve had about a year and still very happy.    
Sweet Sounding DAC
This is a difficult decision.  To be honest I did not read the entire thread.  When I started down this path I found myself wondering which component should I use to “tune”” my sound.  I ended up “tuning” with a preamp.  I too have and love Bricas... 
Power Cord choices
Call TheaterMax and order one from the Cardas Clear line.   
An analogue preamp designer question
I’d like a remote with volume and on/off if the helps.  Over the years I’ve kind of gravities to pres about a 1/2 in taller not sure why.  Today the be tactile feel I’ve have found is the Bricasti volume control on their DACs.  Try an M3 if possib... 
Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers
I moved from Primaluna integrated to Bel Canto 600 and ended up with AGD Audions.  Could not be happier.  The Primaluna seemed to be lacking headroom, Bel Cantos no life but the AGD had what I was looking for.   I still have tubes is the path as I... 
New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k
I moved from a Rogue RP-07 to a Cary SLP-05 and it added like to my music.  I hear the RP-09 is an all around better SQ than the 07.   One thing that drew to the Cary was the tube rectified power supply.   It is two larger separate units but if yo...

I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system.......
I currently own AGD Audions with a Cary SLP-05 "tube" preamp. I know class D is a bit of curve ball but I think they are worth consideration. There are many great solutions at your budget. I would seriously consider AGD's with a good "used" pre.
