A few updates from earlier this year.

Added Primaluna Evo 400, Manley Chinook phono preamp, Schiit Modi 3 + Google Chromecast Audio, Rega Neo PSU, and Nagaoka JN-P200 stylus. Really no itch to upgrade from here, maybe KT150 tubes at some point. The sound stage, imaging, and dynamics are exactly what I was after. Could not be happier.

Beautiful! Any thoughts you can share re the Chinook and what it brings to the party? Looks like you have the Upscale Audio version. I'm eyeballing used ones at the moment...

Yup good eye. I've only had it about 2 weeks, so its still breaking in. In the last year I have auditioned Sutherland 20/20, insight, and Parasound JC 3+. All great preamps in their own right. The Chinook seemed to pair nicely with the Primaluna vs the others I listened too. I wanted to stay tubes. It is tonally exquisite, lush vocals, dead silent, and bass slam for days.

This is probably endgame for me. I can't see another preamp outperforming it until you step up into stupid money. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on it.

Excellent! Glad you've already had some time with Sutherland too, as that's the other avenue Ive considered as well. I also like the idea of sticking with tubes. Thanks for the feedback. Time to start fishing!

I like your system. The Chinook is a legend and still performs!
Of course I am biased when it comes to your speakers the R11’s( the younger brother to my Ref 5’s) we are in the same family Kef :)

Always been a fan of your setup. Something to aspire to. I am okay being little brother. :)
