Sonic Frontier Line 3 vs McIntosh C2500

It's kind of funny, but kind of true that a good tube preamp is:

"A bunch of the very best caps money can buy surrounded by tubes and other such nonsense"

By the way, only 1 or 2 caps per channel are coupling. The rest are power supply related, or feedback and the like and less critical.

Holy crap... How do you know all that stuff..! But thank you, I get the picture now. The upgrade was big bucks for certain. So far, in the initial 10 hrs of break in I can tell a HUGE difference than before.. It's going to be awesome! Thanks for convincing me to keep it and upgrade it. 

And I convinced you to do this without explaining the major part of the upgrade! :)

Please be careful opening up tube gear. Voltages inside are LETHAL at 300V or higher. This is different than solid state, that is rarely over 15V for a preamp, 60V-ish for an amp.

Turn it off, unplug and let sit for about 10 minutes to ensure caps are fully discharged before poking around inside. :)

Best,


Erik

Got it... I'm not messing with it.

But take some pictures for us! :-)
