Current discs in many cases are just as bad and so much of the engineering work down now days on popular music is mixed as much for MP3 performance as it is for full resolution... | |

As I previously mentioned, to upconvert to this level, it is required that I used two balanced digital cables to handle the full bandw... | |
| Help with Pre-Amps I would also consider the Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp. Tube rolling is just changing tubes to find the ones you enjoy the most. As a guitar player, you have been doing this in all likelihood with your guitar amps.Another good grouping of us... | |
