Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker
BTW glad this thread got a bump, my bum Remedy is just sitting in its box and I have no urge to get it fixed and would feel weird trying to sell it non-working. If anyone wants it for free, drop me a PM and I'll send it to you, you'll just have to... 
Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ?

If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp?
