Speaker cable recommendations for DeVORE FIDELITY
Thanks for the tips! 
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
Yeah if I was working with that budget I'd be looking at Sonus Faber or DeVore Fidelity. I have Liuto's now and really dig the SF sound.  
Wolf Ear Audio
UPDATE - I finally heard back from him. He and his family were under quarantine in Calgary. I'm really relieved he's ok! Preamp will ship soon, and I'm psyched to hear his work.  Thanks, folks! 
Wolf Ear Audio
Nah - that's my style. He's probably tied up with this pandemic. I will keep checking in weekly. Just wanted to see if anyone on here knew him and could check in to see if he's ok. 
Wolf Ear Audio
I shouldn't say 'legit'. He's legit. I just hope he's ok and that he gets in touch soon. 
Wolf Ear Audio
Ha yes I have definitely paid him. So yes I'm waiting for the preamp. But also he's been really good via email up until two weeks ago and did mention he's really busy at work with Covid-19 related stuff. Just weird to not hear from him all of a su... 
Wolf Ear Audio
Riley Yep I've tried both and still no response. I guess I was hoping someone on here knows him or just the company really well. Again, I hope he's just swamped with work but I both fear for his safety and would love to hear his work. 
Tube Preamp Recommendations?
I'd love to hear either Schiit tube pre amp.  Also check out Linear Tube Audio and the MZ2.   
Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet?
I would love to hear a system based around a Vidar and a $50 Schiit Sys as the pre.

Matt Miller - Thanks so much for this!

George - You're a Godsend.  Thank you so much!!Sam 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
But yeah - I see a bunch of phono pre-amps that are less than 100 ohms out, so 2 kilohms does seem like a big difference.

I mean, I'm running this through this Sys passive pre, and the there is plenty of volume.  I'm just wondering if I'm going to damage something... 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
"This is a low-impedance output (nominally 2 kilohms) that can easily drive any standard vacuum-tube or solid-state amplifier." 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
"Output impedance:2 kilohms nominal; will drive loads down to 600 ohms with slight loss of output level."Yeah, it's pretty 'hot'.  Gain is only at 9 pm and I have plenty of volume.
