| Audio Research or Conrad Johnson Phono Pre opwhat mijostyn is trying to tell you is that when you are playing with gear at this level, ’better’ is very much in the eye (or should i say ’ear’) of the beholder... it is system dependent, taste dependent, synergy dependent... there is only one... | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? @mapman why is youth wasted on the young?@robelvick have you upgraded? classic gear can sound pretty decent! 😊 | |
