| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? The EAR-Yoshini 868L has one XLR input and dual-XLR outputs (as well as dual-RCA outs), and can occasionally be found used for around $3000.

| Audio Research REF 3 and REF 5 Tweaks I don't know how it effects the sound, but when folkfreak had me over to hear some music on his system, I saw that he runs his 40th Anniversary pre with it's covers off, and it's interior is a thing of beauty! | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe I somehow never heard the A-25 back when I bought my first speakers, the AR 4x, in the late 60's. I don't remember seeing the Dynacos on the shelf of speakers at the electronics stores in San Jose. I hadn't yet discovered Stereophile or the one sp... | |
