Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only
Since we are going down the Solder hole here has anyone seen any audio equipment using other means of connections, other then clip on connectors usually used at speaker driver terminals? I’ve used wire wrap connections in military grade equipment ...

Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price?
VRDS they don't make them like that anymore.  
"Best" mini-monitor?
