| Amp Internal Wire Well, I'm thinking Mercedes.. What do you guys think of this ? Thinking, if I am going through the trouble to do this, why not take it to the next level? https://www.mundorf.com/audio/en/shop/Cables/MConnect_SGW/ Knowing Mundorf is amazing and s... | |
| Denafrips Athena- is damn good Ah man, I'm a preamp dink too. It's a shame these nice models don't have more fixed level outs. The build quality of the Denifrips looks fantastic and love that Relay Based Stepped Attenuator - maybe they got it right, unlike my Cambridge 840e. | |
