| DAC OR AMP? Your thoughts POWER vs CLARITY? Yeah it depends on what your looking to spend..

| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Well the extremes obviously go up in capacitance, my understanding the only differences on the standard stratos boards are it uses like Freid hexfreid? not sure of spelling superfast rectifiers, and like some improved resitors and bypass caps on t... | |
