Sound systems evolve (and hopefully improve). Mine evolved as follows: In April 2019, I decided it was time to go back to a speaker based system after 20 or so years of listening on a headphone based system. So I bought a Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 integrated and a pair of Dali Oberon 7s. I was happy for a while; then I bought a pair of Magnepan LRSes, and I was a lot happier. Big upgrade. But the Rogue wasn't happy - it was struggling. So I purchased a pair of PS Audio m700 amps and a GCD dac/preamp. Much better, no signs of struggle, much more relaxed presentation. Then my Bryston BCD1 cdp died, so I purchased a Cambridge CXCV2 cd transport and am running it into the dac of the GCD. Again, bit upgrade. Also, most of the cabling has been changed out over that time frame, the biggest upgrade being the replacement of stranded 14 ga. speaker cable with 12 ga. solid cable. So in the space of 28 months my system has changed completely, and for the better - though I do miss having tubes. My next purchase will be a new DAC, which hopefully will be an upgrade - you never can tell about these things. So far the evolution has been all positive. I'm hoping that trend will continue. Lack of skill dictates economy of style. - Joey Ramone
