Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition

"The Truth" from the Hornshoppe. This took me completely by surprise, notwithstanding the rave comments from Arthur Salvatore in the Audio Critique. It's a buffered, active line stage but without gain and uses light diodes to control volume. I have had at least 20 preamps in my system over the last 50 years and I don't think any have matched the transparency and lack of noise that The Truth displays.

with the RH5 you have multiple options for sub out-

1 use high level speaker connections

2 use Y adaptors on the RCA outs

3 use the balanced out for amplifier connection, RCA for sub or vice versa.

4 use a female XLR to female RCA adaptor on the balanced out connections.  

if you like a transparent, neutral, refined dynamic sound this is the one.  should have kept mine.
