thank you, i see you are trying to keep your system child proof as well. i have a two year old boy, no damage yet, lets keep our fingers crossed....

bruce, are you kidding me? you think just because one component makes a system sound better that it is going to make every system sound better no matter what different components are involved? ive heard single components bring a system to life like you couldnt belive and then put it on another system and it degrades the sound. maybee you thought i meant something else?

hey bruce, im not exactly being defencive and im shure your system sounds pretty good, maybee even better than mine? dont automaticly think mines better, but i am completely happy with my phonostage and i auditioned many. the thing as audiophilles we have to be carefull with is if something sounds good on gear wich we dont own it might not sound good at home so it is a trial and error of mix matching, there is no one best of anything that is going to sound better on our own gear. i looked up the speakers that you recomended for my system and they were six times the retail price of the ones i own, i do appreciate the advice, it is welcome but the reviews i read on them werent very good but who knows........

hey chuck, i used to own the prologue five and it is very good, the sevens have more power and thats it. if you have the five and it has enough power for you without clipping or distorting you should keep it. i think the primaluna amps sound better when there driven a little hard any way. the dialogue two intagrated amp also sounds really good as well.

your recomending a phono stage by phonomena in my system? but i see you use a Bellari in yours, ive auditioned a Bellari and i really did not care for it. the antique sound labs tube phono stage in my system sounds so much better, with tubes or solid state amps, (i have both) you should have a listen to one some time.
