Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3?

If you are into vinyl, I would tend to use electronics that you find to be the most neutral, transparent and resolving and then tailor the sound slightly with your choice in cartridges.

Bo, what would you consider to be a stunning pre amp?

Bo, Wow. Congratulations. I'd like to ask again, what do you consider to be a stunning pre amp? I gather from your response that it is only the one that only you know how to optimize and use correctly and hear the result. But for the rest of us, if we don't want to add digital to the chain, or add digital room correction, what commercially available pre amp would you recommend to the rest of us who may not have your extensive experience?

It is clear that you do not like the XP-20, so perhaps you can suggest something else.

I would also really enjoy seeing photographs of and reading about your incredible system.

Bo, I was interested in what you think is a "stunning" pre amp. It is now clear that you don't really want to share your opinion. That's fine.

I'd still like to see a system description and some photographs though.

Do you use room correction to get a 3D soundstage and imaging or do you use it to address frequency issues in poorly designed rooms? Or is it for something else?

And why do you think you are the only person who understands this and can use that Audyssay Pro room correction device correctly?

I have two questions: Do you listen to analog? What speakers do you have in your system?

Bo, You should start your own system thread to share news and views of your audio world.
