Preamp with pass through. What is your digital source? Do you listen primarily to vinyl?  I bet the vinyl sounds vastly different to the digital. I have experience with 3A's and the D90.   
Sideways move?
Go up in power. I had these and they really shine with high current, high damping amplifier. Best combo for me was Parasound after 60 watt pop tube amp.   
What is Tight Bass?
Digitalviper and moose89 rock!

Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard.

Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Buick Regal because it is quiet and smooth. I buy them new and run them until they die, usually at 300k. I have had three over the last 15 years and will probably get another. I don't fit the demographic, only 40 years old. Phil Brady.
