Amp - preamp or integrated
If you buy a sub that's capable and has speaker level inputs (binding posts) then you connect it to your Rogue's speakers terminals along with your main speakers.  Simple way is to use whatever terminal type that is the opposite of your main speak... 
Amp - preamp or integrated
The Vandy subs will not work with an integrated unless it has a preamp out and amp in like the McIntosh integrateds do.  You can however use Rythmik, REL and several other subs speaker level from your Rogue.  I used both the Vandy subs and Rythmik... 
Amp - preamp or integrated
If you are happy with the sound of the of the 2CE Sigs  with the Rogue Chronos Magnum you are not likely to be happy with them paired with Parasound as that is the opposite end of the spectrum. How much of an upgrade going to Rogue separates will ... 
Flexible power cord for Ayre Codex
Agree on Cullen as the Crossover cords are very flexible but he can do the same thing with the all copper cords if you ask him to.  Also the Triode Wire Labs cords are extremely flexible to the point of you can roll them up to fit in the pouch the... 
streaming DACs around $4k
I bought mine a year and a half ago for inside your budget. With shipping  and taxes about a hundred dollars over.   
streaming DACs around $4k
@cbl117 An alternative not mentioned is the Teac Reference NT-505 which uses the AKM 4497 chipset instead of the Lumin's ESS 9028 chipset.  It is a full featured streamer that is fully MQA capable and uses the Lumin app the same as their Esoteric ...

Does any one know a cable that is able to compete with clear day double shotgun?

Need DAC/Streaming Advice
The Bluesound Node 2 or 2ci are entry level products and not to the level of your Bryston gear at all. What sort of budget are you looking at for either a new streamer or an all in on solution? 
No IP over WireWorld Platinum Starlight Cat8
If you contact Wireworld directly David's people will help you troubleshoot the problem and replace the cable if necessary.   
What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i
Not sure I understand what you're asking.  The Teac has both SE and Balanced analog outputs but I don't know if you can hook up both at the same time.  If you are using your Marantz as a control center including bass management how are you going t... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
No but you commented about why he would buy from Mark as if that was the reason for his recent negative comments towards Walter.  I was pointing out that his vitriol has nothing to do with a purchase where he is owed money or product at all.  The ...
