Preamp Deal of the Century
why do other people try to latch onto to this thread to pimp other brands preamps? i'm sure the h-cat, audio horizon, and dodd preamps are excellent in their own right, but this is a supratek discussion thread. if you've compared the h-cat, audio ... 
Euphoric Realism vs. Euphonic Romanticism

slowhand:i tried a million different combinations of grounded, ungrounded, shielded, unshielded, cheater plugs, and nothing could get rid of the buzz. it wasn't a ground loop hum, it was an electric buzz.
