Very nice! I would love to get your impressions of the Cronus Magnum II vs the SLI-80. I've always wanted to hear the SLI-80.
Yes, they do warm up the listening room!

Your posts over the past few years were certainly a factor in my auditioning the Cronus Magnum II and so far I'm very happy I pulled the trigger.
I really liked the SLI-80 in the triode setting. It sounded really clean and clear and nice. But in the ultralinear setting, it just sounded off to me. Somehow just a bit unbalanced and unnatural. That said, it's been about 15 years since I auditioned the SLI-80. Perhaps the newer versions are different, but I remember being put off enough by the ultralinear setting that I took a pass. It's actually amazing how long it's been in continual production. Beautiful looking.
I auditioned the SLI-80 shortly after 9/11, and I drove to work with it in the trunk of my car the day that I returned it. At the time every car was searched before entering the parking garage, and the security guard got a bit freaked out when he saw it. He said, "Um, Sir, WHAT is that THING in your trunk?" Actually, that's the only reason I can remember how long ago it was!

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
Your Cronus Magnum II has the improved phono stage, a better remote control with finer adjustment (not as touchy as mine), and some other improvements. Enjoy!

Did it have Russian tubes in it? Just kidding. ;-)
