| ZYX UNIverse X-SB 0.24 sounding "too much" When I had my Universe with the Bent MU I had it loaded under 10 ohms. | |
| A great linestage/preamp "makes" a great system I too feel that the preamp is the most critical component in the system. Since the amps and speakers magnify whatever the output is from the preamp it greatly effects outcome. I have gone through many hi end preamps by Audible Illusions, Sonic Fro... | |
