budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system?


My bottlehead moreplay so far has beaten the ARC ref 5 SE, Allnic L3000 v2 and CJ ET5 (and maybe doge 8). I just don't really get it. Is there something about my system thats limiting the peformance of these other pieces or is moreplay just insanely good ?

Dude, you have a NS5000.....Yamaha designed a beautiful preamp called the C5000 (an engineering masterpiece) to go with that NS5000. You should get that preamp and do the type of tube toking that pleases you with some tube dac instead.

On the same note, get rid of the dumass amazon rca cables and get some Audioquest rca interconnects.
