| Upgrade Path - Preamp or DAC? Thanks. I have thought of a separate phono pre. I'll have to play it by ear. My problem is I want both systems to be the best system! I'll come back to earth soon. | |

| Subwoofer Cable Connections and Selection Thanks yogi. As I was looking at the back of my sub I scraped the dust off the interconnects and saw they are Starightwire. Laser Link model is what I have for my other interconnects so these are probably the same. Better than I thought and now... | |

I have made my purchase. this is how it went down.I demoed the KEF R300s at his house but there was no one within a few hundred... | |
| Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options! Trutopia,Sounds like you got a great system for a steal. I have not had much luck on Craigslist. Mostly old Sony receivers. I will continue to buy used, especially for my 2nd system and maybe speaker cables.Phil,I'm sold on CA. There's always the ... | |
| Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options! I would think so. He said "it comes down to display cost allocations per the calendar". Not sure what that means exactly. We have only emailed back in forth so I'll have to ask him directly. |
