Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound

What preamp to pair with Spectron

Hi Fiddler, try Herbies iso-cups instead of the cones. Should improve things even more. 
marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications
Mitch2 has a good point. I have a SA-7s1 it slightly errs on the warm side of neutral. My friend has the Lector CDP 7T player and it is much warmer and the highs are a little rolled off. I think that would be more to your liking. Try to get an old...

Playback designs followup?
Dcstep, I read that somebody at RMAF asked the dealer how many hours were on the Marantz Sa-7s1 and PD MPS-5. He stated the Marantz was just out of the box and the MPS-5 was well broken in. If that was the case, the Marantz didn't sound at its bes...

New filter/regenerator
I second Kennyt. I have a Purepower APS and like it very much. Where I live there are alot of brown-outs in the summertime. While listening to music when a brown-out occurs it switches to battery power seamlessly. It has a fan which you can hear a...
