| looking for ideas on a tube pre amp I was in the same situation last year, substantial investment in XLR interconnects as well. I was leaning toward ARC and considering CJ, but wound up with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium. Purchased new, it left me with enough dough to pick up some RC... | |
| CD players that make for a great transport I'm using a Teac CDP with UBS input on the front to steam Tidal from my ipod and play the occasional disc. It's running via Valhalla into a Bel Canto DAC 2.5. Super versatile and it sounds fantastic (using a Shunyata Copperhead on it too - great d... | |
| Thoughts on my current system Nice set up...if you wanted to try a different "sound" at the same quality level of gear you have, I'd try a Bryston 3Bsst2 or 4Bsst2 with your set-up. I can't tell you if you'll like it or not, but I'm pretty sure (based on my own Byston experien... | |

| Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research. Mapman, have you tried one of these fuses in your bel canto gear?Any diff? | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? I heard the big Focal Aria speakers (948 I believe) and found them to be about as full-range, rock-out as it gets these days; the porting on the bottom gave ’em that "thud" from the kick drum sound...As for high-sensitivity 8 ohm speakers I’ve own... | |
| Power Cables For amps, I have used all iterations and generations of PS Audio cables. Currently running AC-12 and love it. (I'm using all Shunyata for my front end). I don't know much about electrical engineering, but keeping it simple with high quality copper... | |
