| Jadis JP30MC I wish that integrated modern tube amps had phono stages. It used to be mandatyory, back in the day, before CD. There were even different inputs for your tuner.You see they anticipated, with good reason, that you might need one. Don't ya think Jad... | |

| AES - AE3 Linestage I had the Hexfreds and Caps changed to "better" than even DJH spec, starting with the plain original AE-3. I really was surprised by this little pre. I thought/think it is fantastic.I was frankly afraid of changing it. Thank goodness it did nothin... | |
| AES - AE3 Linestage I had the Hexfreds and Caps changed to DJH spec from the original AE-3. It didn't have a major impact on the sound. The biggest changes I can effect are using a particular 6SN7. I am sure the rectifier must have an impact but I don't have anything... | |

| Endler stepped attenuator w/Cary active preamp What tubes are in the transport?The worst culprits evidently are not giving you any difficulty.
