I will second the Klyne recommendation;Stan is one of the best at what he does and a great guy to have a conversation with as well.
My last pre-amp, Rowland Capri or Ayre K5xe ?
I use an OPPO Blu Ray BDP83 SE player as my source, Vandersteen 3's, amps are Reference 9 Monos, all cabling by Transparent. Any thoughts/opinions are welcomed. Biased opinions show passion and are also welcomed. I am replacing an older Pass Labs X-2.5. Thank you!
