| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? What does balanced get you? Higher signal to noise ratio Lower nose floor, the ability to run long interconnects, others Therefore, expensive cables aren’ts as important also. | |
| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? I love the Schiit Freya+Blue Jeans XLR you up and running for under $1200The volume system is one of the very best anywhere. Tubes can be instantly bypassed from the remote. Unbalanced inputs can be balanced. Changing tubes is easy. Two sets of RC... | |

| Shunyata interconnect cables experience I'm a believer in cable quality for interconnects and somewhat with power but within the digital realm you're mostly chasing ghosts in USB cables given error correction built into the standards and the strength of signal that allows for very, very... | |

| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @mahgister I know full well what timbre is since music theory in collegeYour mansplaining or copying out of a book is irrelevant and adolescent.
