Saki...
I would be interested in your findings once you install the preamp back into your system. I know the 105 is a nice unit as well as very versatile but have yet to find anyone (at least not any of my customers or potential customers I have spoken with) that has removed their tube preamp in favor of going straight from the 105. Especially for 2-channel music. We have a lot of our customers using the Oppo 105.
not to say one way or the other.....again just curious.
