Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control

I tried M3 direct. It had that raw, detailed sound that I have experienced before without a preamp in other systems. The percussion sounds were heavily emphasized over other sounds, such as the vocals, so I much prefer the edit of the Lamm L1. I did not allow for any burn in, though.  I am not sure there is really any substitute for that just-right preamp.

I just installed an Sbooster on my T2. I consider it to be a tweak. A bit of a leap of faith that makes some sense on paper, but am unsure if it'll be worth roughly another 10% investment. I will leave it on for a week or so to let it break-in before I pass judgement. After an hour it certainly hasn't made anything worse ;)

Fuse? When the Sbooster is installed, the Lumin IEC connector/fuse holder is removed. Any fuse you might want to change is within the Sbooster. Not sure I'm ready to start tweaking what is already a tweak.

@nosualc how far down the rabbit hole will you fall?

I suppose, that is indeed the question. Feeling pretty deep already, although once you're in past the swimsuit area, a little deeper into the pool doesn't matter much.

Well every foot past the waistline is about $2000. Once over your head then you're into 401b territory.
