Quite simply, what are the key differences? I have the T10 and it’s quite good, but wondering if the CFR might be a good upgrade or maybe just a different sonic signature than I’m used to.

I have a couple of systems and I believe their final state for the next fifteen years will probably be

T10/CFR -> Mk V DAC  -> 600R/SET 400> Salk HT2-TL

DVA digital preamp -> M225s -> Salk song 3 encore

Too bad I never heard the T10. I have the CFR preamp, SET 400 and Salk HT2-TL speakers and it doesn't get better than this. Everyone in our audio club has expensive stuff, I have heard some pretty pricey systems, they are all different but not necessarily better. The addition of a REL G1 MkII in my setup really ups the ante for the group, nobody else has tight bass to 15 Hz.

After 2-1/2 years I got tired of the stock JJ tubes, they have a slight artificial sharpness with the HT2-TL speakers which lean toward studio sound anyway. I wrote about my tube adventure:
