Step up From Rogue RP-5

@robnpg 

i have had the cary audio slp 05 for a year and a half and just love the sound.  does everything well, works with tube or ss amps.  balanced ins and out.  

buy from cary direct and you will have plenty left for a world class phono preamp.

note, i did not get the ultimate upgrade or any upgrade options and glad i didnt, the sound topples anything i have owned or heard. 

Might you mean "walking on air"?

How do you like your Focal n2 speakers.  I just looked at their specification sheet and they certainly are high performance speakers.  I am thinking about the Kanta 2's or 3's.

What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you?  Without this critical info you’re just gonna get recommendations on personal preferences that may or may not have anything to do with what you’re looking for. 

Hello Soix, as my original post stated; I didn’t randomly say hey folks I need Preamp suggestions :) I said that I have the itch and those were the upgrades I was considering, who has experience with them. I want what we all want right? The full midrange, better resolving, tight bass etc etc. 

Larry, Focal Sopra 2’s are kick ass! Now I’ll tell you this, I heard some Rockport Atrias the other day and they were a different level, but they are still nice!!
