Feels as if the musicians are in the room, even with music that... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sonics1 - I just had an email from Mick, he was traveling and said it might be a couple days before he could check email again. But I expect you will hear from him soon. It might also be worthwhile to contact PS Audio to see if others have had any... | |
