A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
It’s been a long time since I read and/or reply on all of this A-n b.s.)))  I actually surprised to see that in 2018 so many people still wasting their time reading all this b.s. by paid writers/reviewers instead of listening to YouTube audio/vide...

Tube Phono Stage
First of, you are assuming that all bad stuff which bothering you is coming from phono, which might or might not be so. It might come from the cartridge/arm/TT /preamp, cables etc., on the first place. I would try different (darker, better) cartri...

knghifi: "It’s very possible ... GZ34 family?" Yep. Russian. You really believe it might cause the problem at issue?

Why some preamps does not play music? Cold?

"Slow"... Hm... It is interesting... I’d say might be not exactly "slow", because it might have swing at the same time, but most likely wrong PRAT, that screws original melody, therefore depending on music played it varies from "Ok" to "bad". Hm..... 
Why some preamps does not play music? Cold?
No, they are tube. BTW, in that respect i'm talking about it does not matter tube or SS, but i had in mind tube pre.

mattmiller I didn't mean you, but was talking generally, for the future. I don't want dealers turn my thread into advertising platform as it i happening here every day.
