hi  charles1dad,yes, good transformers are important.  but it's not like the transformers in the decware zen taboo were shoddy.https://6moons.com/audioreviews/decware/taboo_2.htmlit was simply that they're set up at 4 ohms, and have unusually low ...

onesign, my apologies - i see you called out your specific preamp in your last post - the ref 3.  it's been around a long time and it has gotten superb reviews.  perhaps terry has heard it...doug s.

riley - in fairness, it's sometimes easire to get a comparison, if one's available, than to "try it yourself".  (have you gotten one; i know you've been considering it.)onesign - a reason you may not be getting any replies, besides the fact that n...
