| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? Nice summary weighing the differences and trade-offs @millercarbon. In the end I agree that the tube presentation is the one that stirs my soul with vinyl and the phono stage. Whenever I contemplate a SS phono stage I have to look really hard fo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Thanks for the link! I didn't even think about looking for it on youtube...duh. I was just curious whether those of you who acquired it were happy with it. Much appreciated...listening now and it sounds good so far ;-) | |

| Favorite Miles Davis release Miles Smiles - Davis, Shorter, Hancock, Carter, and Williams just killed it in post-bop brilliance. | |
| Experience with Zesto Andros Allasso SUT? Nice to hear some feedback from someone! I was starting to think no one actually owned one. Thanks. | |
| Aries G1 with original Auralic Vega I don't believe he was using a Vega DAC | |
| Aries G1 with original Auralic Vega I saw this same question posted at one point on the Auralic community message board. Some reported quieter operation and more transparency although the DAC will have the bigger effect on SQ. One of the posters wrote the following which you may f... | |
