Petland, it's obvious that you like the Wadia sound, and I won't try to tell you that you shouldn't. I prefer my top octave to not be rolled off by 3 dB. The volume control in my player is as good as the best volume controls in the best preamps. It allows me to listen at any volume level, without losing bit resolution. There's no need to be smug, you've not heard what I have, afterall.......And if you want to listen to a tuner, the tuner should be off while you listen to other sources anyway. Switching interconnects isn't a big deal, is it?........Regarding vinyl, you just don't know what you're missing. If you did, you wouldn't. I just love having both CD and vinyl, that's the only way to navigate audiodom nowadays, IMHO.
My Only Question Is.........
Would someone please tell me the name of the preamplifier(s) on this planet that when inserted into the signal path between any recent Wadia cd player and any amplifier, IMPROVES upon the sound of the forementioned Wadia when compared to running it direct using its digital volume control near its peak. Remeber contestants that the better the preamp the less it imparts to the signal. Keep in mind also that answering this question intelligently would require that you have actually tried this.
