I am going to try some Amperex Bugle Boy's this weekend and compare them to the cca's. They can be had on Ebay, used and strong, for $68 a quad. That is what I paid.I used these in my CJ Premier 16 and they were great. I will now play with them in...

How many of you have the remote version of the AH 2.0 preamp? I am just curious as this option is brand new.I am just loving it to death and can't wait to listen to more of my CD's.I wish Mr. Chow would make a nice SS or tube amp to mate with this...

I also ordered one fully loaded and now have it! I am letting it settle into my system and let you folks know what I think. I also own the 3.0 dac and all of his top end wire in my reference system.Bill

I just got a fully loaded 2.0 pre to compare to my CJ LS16 MK2. I will let you know. The CJ is a fine unit. I have not heard better. I own the 3.0 dac from Mr. Chow and love it to death. I also own all of his wire in my reference system.I will com...

BPT's balanced isolation transformers/conditioners work great. Have one on my Belles Reference 350 and it helps, not limits the sound in any way. Bill
