Your cables might cost more than my truck.

Crappy trucks from the 70’s and 80’s are all the rage now. Just give your truck time and it will again be worth more than @Mather cables.

You don’t need to justify anything - it’s mostly jealousy from me.

Doubtful. Mine is from this century and I drive them into their grave. 70s trucks are beasts.

I had a very similar 2006 Lariat Supercab. That was my 3rd F-150 in a row. I loved those trucks, my 1998 XLT with a split bench (most comfy truck seats I ever had) was probably my fave.
That said, I don’t miss the MPG, parking, or their overall size.

I especially like how the photo perspective is making the back tires look like big boy truck training wheels.

Same here. Just can’t imagine that the VPI will go anytime in my lifetime. Thing is built like a tank. LolIf and when the VPI bites the dust, we're going ultrasonic. That said, the VPI has been stellar

Let's be honest, that period in Chicago represents the pinnacle of American advertising. I can hear that gif

So far in my audio journey I’ve only had integrated amps. I’m wanting to try a class D amps, mono blocks, and other amps and thinking that I should invest in a good preamp and then get different power amps.
Preamps I’m considering in the $4k and under range include:
- Naim Uniti Atom HE
- Parasound P6
- Schiit Kara or Freya
- Cambridge Audio Edge NQ
- PrimaLuna EVO 300
- LTA Microzotl
- Black Ice Audio F360
Anyone here have any experience with any of these Preamps or other suggestions?

I owned a Parasound P6. Very clean and clear, and very solid state sounding. The Music Room has a used Prima Luna Evo 300 listed currently @ $3,167. Negotiating can get that down. The PL has a lovely, full sound, if your system is thin or two dimensional that can be a real boon. I’ve had some various Schiit stuff, not bad but none of the stuff stayed in my system long. The LTA MicroZotl stuff is interesting, but I haven’t had the chance to listen to it.

I fought separates but in the end, it was the way for me to get the sound I wanted.
I picked up the Perseus Magnum for $900, which has the upgrades. Total bargain buy.
