Lampizator Amber - I'm dumb and stuck!
Yes original Amber. I have the plus. That link is the Amber 2. Cheers, Tim 
Lampizator Amber - moving up the range?
Did you guys roll the valves to improve the sound? I have a ARC Ref 3 preamp that I'd intent to keep running.

Hey Jbrrp1. I'm PCM only for this. Understood that there's a difference. Any way you could explain what they're like? Thanks 
Power regenerators on pre / digital - any downsides?

Cables of the past - which still rock?

Thanks for the advice. Few bits more info in case it's of value. Speaker cable is Chord Odyssey. I have some pure silver interconnects. I get the cart recommendation, I'm interested in looking at a high range for that. What sort of price / which c...
