| Question for tube aficionados I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I can tell you the preamp is terrific,even after all these years! | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? Much of what many have said here is true. To go to extremes, whether love or hate, is to miss the glorious middle of true enjoyment. Mea culpa! | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? I’ve identified the problem. It’s a tube in the preamp that was going bad.it was intermittently causing distortion and reeking havoc with the sound, from one day to another.
