Denafrips Athena- is damn good
My extreme apologies to all. It’s been a very rough few months and after imbibing, I let my fingers do the walking. Inappropriate.   I do think the Athena is excellent and a step up from my previous line stage, but this isn’t how I would want to...

Am I a hopeless audio snob?
Technics new tables are excellent. Especially for the cash. Wont win you the envy of friends and local audiophiles though.
