    Just a side question, would you happen to have a thread about your system? I'd like to see another system out there with the Artera Pre. I haven't found a single one yet other than you.
    No dedicated thread; just a couple of contributions in other contexts - my signature shows the system as it currently is (Aug 2022 & no plans for major changes any time soon). Having got the Artera Pre, I too am surprised it hasn't gained more interest but, sometimes, that's the way it is. Perhaps Quad's marketing isn't as strong (or effective) as other brands.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

I dont currently have the funds so its probably going to be next year. I dont really know what sort of money gets a good pre but I'd have no more than 1K, less would be preferred ta Jim
    Despite some minor irritations i have with this pre amp i would put it on your list..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPC9ofYtq2I
