| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations If you can, I'd audition a Moon 330A. It's just under $5k and I think it's an amazing amplifier. I was comparing it to McIntosh 462 and frankly it wasn't close. | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? I have been fortunate when it comes to stereo shops. And I do believe in having valuable relationships.
