Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!!
You need to describe your system as well as lay out,carpet, couches ,windows and size of your room .If one has highly reflective acoustics, bright speakers and a bright sounding cd player the combination will be most undesireable .How does your sy...

What'sBest Deal Tube PreAmp New or Used?
Perhaps, but it will not be as analytical and cold as s/s preamps.The one that I had in my system and in its price range basically did the best of both worlds.I replaced it with an SFL-1 Signature that had more detail and did everything else just ...
