How does a potential consumer evaluate a component when the stock power cord is changed, plugged into a conditioner with another power cord, sits on a upgraded rack and footers???. (at least he didn't roll the tubes...i hope.)
Sorry, but to me, that's like buying a Honda Civic and doing the "tuner thing" to it. Is is really a Civic anymore?
If you throw peanuts, whipped cream,syrup and 6 other toppings on a scoop of ice cream can you honestly tell me if the ice cream itself is special?
Is it brand X or Carvel?
Sorry, just my 3 cents

Yup...100% agree. Not only that but he spent more time TALKING about that stuff than the actual preamp. And "what makes us happy". Combine that with the fact that he says at one point how glorious it was, then the next day it was terrible? I'm not buying that. I've never experienced that dramatic of a change in a component where it "stayed like that".
