I visited a buddy who compared several high $ other brand preamps to his upgraded SLP98 to units 2x to 4x the cost, both of us preferred our upgraded 98s. Perhaps it was a synergy there too. Will keep an eye out on developments here with all the Inspiring development work going on, good fun and continued progress for sure  |
Decooney, I agree with you that point to point wiring is best practice. The Aikido boards are very high quality though.
I remember looking at your preamp years ago. I would be interested to hear the difference between the Cary and the most recent designs out of Dennis’ fertile imagination.
I bet your setup sounds great with the 6f6 tubes. I like these tubes but I just don’t have speakers that mate well with them.
