budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system?
My bottlehead moreplay so far has beaten the ARC ref 5 SE, Allnic L3000 v2 and CJ ET5 (and maybe doge 8). I just don't really get it. Is there something about my system thats limiting the peformance of these other pieces or is moreplay just insanely good ?

The RCA's would be a good place to start but I would also talk to him about speaker and power cables as well as conditioners as he makes all of them. Get his opinion of a plan to follow. The PSM 156 is a great place to land for a conditioner as I have two of them and they do what they claim as you found out. Being local to you he would be a good person to get to know. |
@smodtactical Contact Teo Audio in Kingston. They offer a money-back guarantee on their IC cables, if you don’t like them (no questions asked). Trust me, you won’t return them. |
Smodtactical, You have tens of thousands of dollars of gear, do yourself a favor and replace the cheap RCA cables. Really good cables can be had for not a lot of money, look at: Morrow Audio (MA4), DHLabs Air Matrix, Zavfino Arcadia or Fusion, LavriCables Reference or Ultimate Silver, Cullen Cables Copper or Crossover, or Supra Trico or Supra EFF-ISL (found on eBay).....don't think a single cable is more than $300, and will be huge upgrades and more worthy of your equipment. |
