Sdatch,Spectral is an equally good choice.What I wanted to convey in my original message was simply that you choose something that will survive the coming decimation of underutilized manufacturers and avoid the inevitable elimination of NOS tubes.... | |
| Preamp with near-reference quality built in phono? So sorry. I didn't intend to confuse anyone.The comment you question was inserted vis a vis the greater context of values expressed and implied on this site, if not specifically this post. Home theatre seems to have implanted concerns for physical... | |
