| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Patience will definitely pay off. When I was searching for my endgame preamp,it seemed the $2500-$3500 price point was loaded with great gear. | |

| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? I have built two systems I enjoy very much. I built them to suit my ears,and I have never measured anything.

| Awesome vinyl collection in May 09 Elle Decoration I smell a spammer….. | |
| Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior Enjoy the soundstage. | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? My apologies. However,this does seem to be a quite common practice. |
