| How important is the pre-amp? @smandlej I just ordered the Allegri Reference preamp myself. So I'll soon know the answer to the OP's question.My Classe SSP-800 processor/DAC has been my systems preamp since 2009. It has served me very well but I've read enough from millercarbo... | |

| I’m in trouble Buy 2 used Jeff Rowland Model 12 monoblocks. Class AB. 350W into 4 ohms. Least expensive option for the best result. Easy peasy. You win!How do I know? That's what I have into my 4 ohm, 92.5dB Mezzo Utopia's. | |

| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? Well, I recently bought an Audiomachina 3.8g anti resonance shim. However it gets mounted above the headshell. And above a Miyajima Zero. | |
| How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11? I know you have an Apple but what I did for my Android was install UAPP app. There is also an app within that app for a "Bit Perfect" app. Then you use an OTG USB cable. The UAPP makes the Android's DAC better. Perhaps there is a similar app for a... | |
| Upgrade Time As cerrot mentioned about Rowwlands- You could probably acquire a gently used pair of Jeff Rowland Class AB Model 12 monoblocks for a very good price if you search around. Originally $12,000/pr...Maybe $3000-$6000 for the pair used? Not sure.Your ... | |

| Mono cartridge recommendation Miyajima Zero if you can double your budget..I originally bought an Ortofon Mono Quintet but jumped to the Zero before opening the box..... I put together a separate mono table(Basis 2001 w/ Rega RB900) with a tube Rogue Ares Magnum upgraded w/ Mo... | |

| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard PLAYBACK DESIGNS MPD-8. Best of the best. | |
| Panamax Power Conditioner: Keep or Upgrade PI Audio's Uberbuss is a great power conditioner for a reasonable price. I think it's half the price of the Puritan but has no surge protection. I got a Seimens FS140 whole house surge suppressor by the breaker box. | |
| So where should the tubes be? Please don't look past Rogue Audio's Ares (Magnum) tube phono preamp. | |
| surround processor? Yeah. He’s a true analog guy. Nothing wrong with that. I like digital when I’m home from work or cleaning the house etc where I don't want to fuss with albums.....Digital can sound very good. But for true immersive music, I love vinyl better. But ... | |
| surround processor? Millercarbon is a 2 channel purist but don’t hold that against him. He gets it right 100% of the time otherwise :)I can say this with 100% assurety. Find a lightly used Classe SSP-800 on EBay or elsewhere. There is one listed now on EBay for $1200... |
