Alright, sell me on getting the Eros over the Seduction.

You can see what my system is (in the signature below). What am I going to get our of the Eros in my system as opposed to the Seduction (even with upgrade)?

I upgraded from the Seduction to the Eros.  A very worthwhile upgrade.  I felt that it greatly improved detail  and a more 3d soundstage.  I am very glad I updated

I agree with Debra.   I ran the upgraded Seduction for about 3 years and was happy with it.  I'm running a 2.5 mv MC cartridge, bass was a little thin with the seduction...not so with the Eros:  WAY more body, more articulate, better separation of instruments / voices.  Huge improvement in resolution, soundstage, etc.  I haven't regretted it for a second.

I just ordered an Eros two days ago.  If you go to the Eros product page you will see a mini-review I did when Paul loaned me his for a 4 day weekend.

I obviously like mine.  I have said before I could easily have lived with my Seduction.  Still could, that is one killer amp for the money.  But the noise floor is lower with the Eros, actually I could just list all the cliches.  I just like it better.  It was worth the money to me.
