Well I’ve definitely thought about upgrading my classic/dv20x2 combo and my Triton twos but the thing is... that would cost me money. The VAC sigma 160i SE I’m looking at is used and a very nice price, so nice that I will likely make $1000-$1200 on the deal overall once I sell off all my components and cables, money that I would likely put toward upgrading to Triton two plus (I do think those Tritons are major giant killers - I have auditioned many speakers in the 6-10k range and I’ve yet to hear anything that I thought would conclusively better them - they are also the perfect size for my small listening room and are very efficient). Selling off all that stuff a pain, but if the VAC is a major sonic upgrade (and based on the reviews that seems very possible) well... it’s a tempting move given that I’d make money on the deal. I also at this point would like streamlining my system to an integrated, DAC and tt. The phono section is the big question for me because I love the sound of the Allnic H1201 that I have now and part of the whole idea here is that I’d have to sell the Allnic for this to make sense for me. Given the fact that listening to vinyl has become now maybe 30% of my listening, I’d be okay if the VAC phono section gave me say 80% of what I’m getting out of the Allnic into the ARC LS26, but if it was more of a comedown than that i’d be disappointed.
