This all started (upgrading to a tube system) in March when I had surgery, I had time on my hands so I started looking at speakers traded my Gallo 3.1 in on the Joseph Audio RM25XL, improved my sound so much that I wanted to try a tube amp, got the Rogue Audio Model 88 here used retubed, I LIKE IT TUBES AGAIN, so I sold some interconnectsm bought the Modwright SWL9.0SE also on Agon, another step up, really enjoying this system with what I have invested in it, buy the TransFi Terminator Tonearm PERIOD!!
