| Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp? Since you do have an opportunity on the Chinook, grab it.I have spent some time with several popular tube units mentioned on Agon. The Chinookwill put your table/cart in a good light. As mentioned, you can also fine tune it by replacing just one o... | |

| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth The surprising thing about the "white hot stamper" is, the rating doesnt mean noise free!$500 for ticks/stitches of a Jimi Hendrix AYE or Steely Dan CTE?I guess the noise must be part of the experience?! Will someone report back on their time with... | |
