I had the RC1070 preamp before. Also had the RB1070 and then the RB1090 in the past and I enjoyed them. I like the look of the new ones and I want to make sure the capacitors and electrics are new so they last. I need it to be worry free because t...

Is the imaging better, the 3D effect, and the blackness between notes?When you say higher resolution, what do you mean?Was there glare with the Oaks?

How did the Wild compare to the Oaks?  I had the Oaks in my system and it sounded very good.
