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 ?

yamaha ns5000, waudio power strip, waudio cables,  cheap amazon rca cables, amp is CJ LP70S, dac denafrips terminator.

Smodtactical,

You have tens of thousands of dollars of gear, do yourself a favor and replace the cheap RCA cables. Really good cables can be had for not a lot of money, look at: Morrow Audio (MA4), DHLabs Air Matrix, Zavfino Arcadia or Fusion, LavriCables Reference or Ultimate Silver, Cullen Cables Copper or Crossover, or Supra Trico or Supra EFF-ISL (found on eBay).....don't think a single cable is more than $300, and will be huge upgrades and more worthy of your equipment.
