| best preamp ever - cost is no object Ryan,Where did I mention a graphic equalizer? I have never own a graphic EQ but that is exactly what a Cello Palette is; try to tell Tom Jung of DMP, Shawn Murphy of Hollywood/movie scoring fame, Mrs. Wilma Kozart of Mercury Living Presence fame t... | |

| best preamp ever - cost is no object Norm,What is it about the cables and tubes that you prefer and that make them better? Please "verbalize" what makes your choices better?I do agree that tube technology is different but what matters is the end result isn't it? The way in which a tu... | |
