The preamp tubes can and will tame the treble. Preamp tubes generally live much longer. And lastly, rolling preamp tu... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Can you change to a different reconstruction filter in your current rig? Might solve all your sq issues. Oppo 105/205 is a possibility as mentioned above. | |

| Considering used towers under $1000.. Why not try some jbls?.... maybe a pair of L100s. My L80t3s were only like $250. | |
| Phono cable advice. Save your money and get a better table and cartridge first. My 2 cents.... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. +1 for SRV I was going to post that myself. Truly a great rendition. | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. In what way is a 60% DISCOUNT penalizing anyone? I genuinely don't understand the argument, or for that matter the vitriol. Has it occurred to anyone to simply sell their cables here and send Mr Morrow some cables from radio shack and still get 40... |
