Placette Passive Pre
Has anyone compared the Placette (passive) to the FT Audio passive preamp which retails for approx. $500? The feedback that I keep seeing on the FT Audio product is that it maintains output at the frequency extremes (mainly the bass).

Sedond: There is a similar product that is made for fiberglass boats. I have never made the trip to South of LA to pick up another bottle (to try on CD's). I used it for years on my wife's plastic snowdome collection and the stuff would polish out... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
My wife has started using the system more, when I am out (which is a good thing). I think that she was afraid of the tube amp in the beginning, but I told her that if anything goes wrong, we will just have it repaired, just like anything else. The...
