Ok,my gear or my hearing aren't in this class to enable any significant input on this subject. However I have read in mag. interviews, several quotes from designers, of this very nature. (for big expensive products) I doubt any product could not be tweeked/improved upon no matter who made it or how expensive it is. I also think some of these highend guys would be embarrassed to have quotes they made 10/20 years ago,read back to them,today.
If boulder is tops what is second tier?
If we would assign A++ to boulder, what phono preamps rate as A+?
What would be considered just a notch below the boulder?
Would this include: the Manley steelhead, the Aesthetix IO signature, ASR Basis Exclusive mark II, the BAT VKP10SE super pack, the Einstein?
What others belong to this group or which of these doesn't?
