Preamp modifications - who would you use?
Bob reviewed some detailed pictures I sent over and we discussed potential outcomes but in the end I decided not to modify the MUSE and I sold it. My MUSE Erato II player actually has an internal Model Three Signature active preamp module that can... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.

Review: SMc Audio RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Preamplifier

SMc Audio: The Interocitor One thoughts?
I had one here a couple of months ago. My system currently requires the use of Jensen transformers to convert the single-ended signal from my Tom Evans preamp to a balanced signal that goes into my Clayton amps. Steve says he has constructed the I...

Cables ... what's up with them?
Any suggestions on how to try many without dropping a bundle and ending up with 12 sets of cables?Nope, sorry but 12 sets is the established minimum, with each successive set more expensive than the previous set. Don't plan on buying a new car unt...

Is Clayton Audio Out Of Business
TRI is the distributor and should be able to help with questions or sales. The website may need updating since my M300s have the upgraded power supply and the base price has been raised several thousand dollars over what is indicated on the site.
