Judging equipment


I have a question for experienced members.
I have a 7000k cdn 2 box pre amp from YBA it Is 1 step below their top of the line signature series which is another 25k I have had for this pre amp for 2 years now. I recently bought a tube pre amp from a boutique hand made mfg here in Ontario for 1200 cdn

Maybe my hearing isn't what it should be but when I swap out the pre amps and play my test tracks over and over I do hear a slight difference in sound between the 2 but given the difference in price I would expect much more of a difference.

As I said maybe it is just me.

Spend the savings on Canadian whiskey.

Very funny. But if we can be serious for a moment: Angel's Envy Finished Rye. You're welcome.

I don't play test tracks once, let alone over and over. If the differences aren't immediately obvious no matter what the music why would I pay anything for it? Let alone thousands? Obviously improved sound quality is my only criteria. I can give you a whole long list of things it is easy to hear that cost a lot less than what you are talking.   

The good news here I guess is you can save yourself a whole lot of money going forward.
