Folks, Raul is a digital aficionado. He’s not into vinyl so much as he appears to be into trolling.
You will all note that he did not deny my assertion- although he *said* he had heard our preamp, he does not deny that he *didn’t* when I called him on it, instead making an unrelated argument (a logical fallacy argument technique known as a Strawman; by definition such an argument is false...).
With regards to bass and highs, tubes can go from DC to many MHz (our preamp amps have full power bandwidth from 1Hz to 100KHz, with bandwidth intentionally limited to prevent damage to tweeters from RFI). Old school analog color TVs had to have DC to 10MHz bandwidth in their chroma amplifiers (which were for the red, green, and blue signals of the old analog color broadcast system), and that was done with tubes, some of which are in use in audio circuits today. Neither are there any solid state phono sections with response to DC; nor does the RIAA spec past 20KHz; so many phono sections, solid state included, don’t have serious bandwidth past about 50KHz or so; raul’s bandwidth comments appear uninformed.
Raul’s comments can thus be safely ignored, especially since he seems to have taken an apocryphal stance purely for trolling purposes.

Thanks- Any suggestion on playter pad upgrade?@jetson I like the Oracle platter pad a lot. To use it properly, it is pretty well permanently stuck to the platter, so you will want to make sure the platter's bolts that secure it to the motor are not in place.
