Preamp Deal of the Century

Preamp Deal of the Century

pass labs x250 talon khoruses and bat vk-40
If the BAT is really brand spankin' new out of a sealed box then you really need to break them in. A few more questions what brand of cables are you using? and what power cord or power conditioners?Are you still using the Rega for source? 
How best to spend 2500 CD player for my system?
Electrocompaniet EMC 1 MK II, I saw one the other day for less than $2500 I think. I'm not sure if that will last though, anyway it's a great player for it's price, I absolutely love mine.
