I been a budget minded hifi fan who tinkers every 5 years or so. So here is the current system I have. I am still looking into swapping out the integrated amp and possibily speakers to towers.
I checked out the site on the tube gear you provided. Nice looking stuff. If I go tube gear I am looking for a tube preamp and solidstate amp. I may stick with Musical Fedility on amp part. Great sound and projects a good stage.
Thanks for the reply. Will take into consideration. And Terry Kath is still 1 of my all time favorites. "Southern California Purples is my fav by Chicago. I know was not Terry's best but the arrangement was great. Now Poem 58 is a great song to hear Terry's abilities. I will check out the Mags when I am ready.
Hmmm something to consider on both your replies. Thanks guys.
I owned a Audio Electronic Dennis signature amp for a short while. I traded it in for the Musical Fidelity integrated amp. I am researching Cary Audio preamp and possibly a Musical Fidelity Amp. I have listened to Magnepan's long ago. But now I am not sure if room would allow for it here.
Have you listened to the new MAggies the small pair? I do not recall model. I maybe interested in those. But I like a good fast sound with lots of space and imagining is very important.
Although I am looking into relocating back to Cali. If so I will look into a house with large enough room to step up size.
And yes classic rock still lives. Just found my old Chicago Transit Authority CD. The guitar player IMO was probably 1 of the best in his time.
I am thinking of moving into tube preamp and solid state amp next. On the DAC and the 340 I love it. Esp compared to my old CD player. Opened the sound way up. I tried it both ways and found the DAC helps a lot.
Thanks on poster lol I have Beatles, Kurt Cobain and Bob Dylan as well in my music room.
