I’m with you. I’ve had preamps from Pass and Herron. Very good stuff.
But, I’ll stick with my EM/IA Remote Autoformer (pure silver) all day, every day. When I put that sucker in my system it was one of those glorious audiophile days. In the year or two since, I have not thought about wanting/needing anything else.
Though I’ve been told I may not know it 😆
