newbie mania

New to high end. Was turned on to a setup within my means..proac tablettes and primaluna amp. Got the tablettes and have run them through my old JVC amp which just died.

Thinking about primaluna prologue two. But so much out there. Hope to move to proac floorstanding speakers at some point--maybe response 2.5 to get the bass extension. other than that, I love my tablettes.

would love to hear any and all opinions. SS v tube amps in the 1500-2200 dollar range. Path aleph? Vincent? I'm so confused at the moment. I send flac files from imac a lot these days. I listen to a ton of eclectic music, classical, contemporary classical, computer music, jazz. Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks for the tips. I'd been looking at the Peachtree, though a few reviews seemed underwhelmed. Nice to have the headphone option, as i live in an apartment, though it's not the most pressing concern. Had looked at a Pass Aleph here on audiogon at a good price and some seem to feel that SS is more precise and responsive. Will look into Rogue. Cayin over Primluna? Really? All quite puzzling! While I'm all over the map...any nice cable suggestions ~200 bucks or less? Upscale sells Ah! cables but I don't see anyone here selling them. maybe they're lame?

"any nice cable suggestions ~200 bucks or less?"

Marburg, the amp you choose for yours speakers can have an influence on your cable decision, so you're a little premature IMO.
