Preamp Deal of the Century
Great review, do you hear any hiss from the pre amp ? Is it good on lower volume and is the volume knob of good quality?Thanks. 
Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
How is the volume control on the Cortese, is it smooth, can you control it in small steps ? From the remote also ?

Interesting tread, I often find, and I may be totally wrong in that big speakers with many drivers need a lot of power to sound good, and mostly they sound at their best at higher listening levels, I myself went the bbc route a couple of years ago...

Playing flac files on my Mac book
Normally I use Roon, but on my working computer I used to use Amarra, but recently tried Audirvana, and must say I like it better than the newest version of Amarra, Audirvana sounds fine and looks very stylish too.

Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
