| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? MODWRIGHT makes some of the most musical Tube based preamps I have heard. I recommend the SWL 9.0 (older) or the 36.5 line stage, with tube rectified power supply (newer). Also, the LS100 is the Newest preamp they make. | |
| Transparent Cable Upgrade? IMHO until you change from cables with "Boxes" on them you will never realize the full potential of your system. These network interfaces as they are called while very articulate and accurate and musical, they STEAL the impact and attack and decay... | |

| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Bottom line here is... What I have found is that proper cartridge and tone arm matching are essential in almost eliminating woofer pumping. Having said that, you can never get rid of it because it is part of the record/vinyl and every record sound... | |

However when I was a younger person (teens thru early 30's) I was all about it. In the early 90's I had a Rockford Fosgate Punch 75 under 1 seat and a Punch 150 under the oth... | |

McIntosh XR7 speakers and top of the line Sony TT with a Tandberg ca... | |
