Stupid question maybe but limited funds. I have an itch that I have to scratch. The only question is which way to go on the way to a real 2 channel system. I can add either to my dungeon system (see the sig line) But I have no funds to just keep going in every which way. so tell me where my interim investment should go. Note the dungeon has the Ushers and ultimately I want Diamonds for the 2 channel system. Every dollar spent on other stuff pushes me further away from my ultimate 2 channel. Then I am supposed to be done and find another addiction lol

Agreed. I bought this Dared tube preamp from him about a year ago now and he was a pleasure to do business with on all fronts.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

+1 on the 8004... I have 1 and don't see the need for anything else... The DAC is WAK and the CD/SACD player is all you would need IMO.
Looks like a nice deal too...My New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160

Thanks for the references fellas.
I did this unscientific test between The Marantz 8004 and the Oppo 105 a few years back:

So yeah that's me selling my Marantz in the flea market. But I'm getting the NA8005, the network streamer.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -
Get Neil's SA8004 and don't look back.Political Correctness'.........defined
