My yearly upgrade

Remarkable on my first audition in my system. So pre-amps are sound processors after all! Can't wait to hear more.

- Rega P9
Very British, what more can I say
- Rega RB-1000
Everybody screams: "why no VTA adjustment". Well, just because.
- Ortofon Kontrapunkt B
Worked hard to set it up, still some work to do
- Audio Research PH-5
Now have the gain that was missing straight in without the transformer.
- Sony SCD-XA9000ES
Quite impressive build quality and sound both for CD and SACD reproduction
- Adcom GFT-555 mkII
Seldom listen to radio. Good enough for me. Should get an outdoor antenna.
- Audio Research REF-2 mkII
A marked improvement. So preamps are sound processors after all!
- Digiflex Studioflex C6-XX-C4
Inexpensive balanced cable from pre to monoblocks. Will do for now.
- Nordost Blue Heaven
About as much money as I want to spend on cables...
- Infinity Prelude MTS
the Rodney Dangerfields of large speaker systems
- Audioquest King Cobra
I liked the colour of the jacket
- Tara Labs RSC Prime 500
Needed single wire, found these for small change.

Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1, 6 or 7 should be considered.
