Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons

Am I Bad Listener?
Sad and pathetic? I think you are one lucky S.O.B. !!!I wish I 'suffered' from your 'problems'. Just be happy with what you have and hop off the merry-go-round!Cheers,John 
Which Cardas cable is the warmest?
Golden Cross is the warmest. The Golden Reference was an attempt to merge the best attributes of the Golden Cross and the Neutral Reference.
