A Wytech Rubt STD just hit Audiogon. No affilitation. http://app.audiogon.com/listings/tube-wyetech-ruby-std-preamp-mint-customer-trade-in-2014-01-08-preamplifiers-06801-bethel-ct |
The Teflon caps made an enormous difference. The one criticism I had about the Opal is that it was a bit thin on top, especially on strings. The Teflon caps provided a much smoother, more full - bodied and natural sound. Strings sound quite "sweet" now. It takes 50-100 hours to really hear the full effects, but the improvement is immediately audible. Roger provided the 4 caps but did not do the removal/installation; I had it done by an excellent shop in Westchester County in NY. Very reasonable; about $230. I cannot see moving from the Opal now, and if I did it would be for a pre with a remote control as I am getting older and lazier. Good luck. |
