Should I Switch Preamps?
"Not sure what I'll do yet....".What I hope you do is have fun and enjoy, even more, some good music.  You are very welcome, of course. 
Should I Switch Preamps?
Hi @timlub I’m certainly not trying to keep you from cleaning house! :-)Don’t have a lot of pre-amp experience. Had auditioned a used CJ pre a while ago vs the Opera Reference 50 pre I owned. The CJ (sorry, don’t recall model) ran (2? 4?) - 6922s ... 
Should I Switch Preamps?
I have no idea whether you should switch preamps but to scratch the itch...a Schiit Freya for $700? Could run it with 4 - 6SN7s or completely tube-less. JFET buffer mode is what I’m using most of the time going into a hefty Class D. Balanced desig...

Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
Thanks, doc.  I hope what I think ain’t, "I just wasted $500 bucks!". We shall see...or, more appropriately, "hear" I suppose. In the absence of the Gungnir, running Aries Mini USB out to V-Link 192 and then via D-750 coax to the DAC in a TEAC CD3...

Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
Had lost track of this question.  FWIW - sent the Gungnir into Schiit yesterday via FedEx ground.  It is supposed to get there Wed 5-24.  A day or two in the shop, expect I will get it back first week of June.   
Jazz for aficionados
Frogman - Happy to introduce you to something new.  As ever your analysis is much appreciated.  I don't know Carla Bley other than the name.  Will have to at least check her out...see how much of a stretch acquiring that taste would be.  Do give t...
