A vast improvement in sound especially the bass after adding the pass x2.5 preamp to the system :) I was using the Eastern Electric minimax DAC as a preamp before.

    Lookin' good there chief. Very nice.....I am somewhat curious as to those cables that look like garden hoses. They aren't something from the cheesy factory are they ?

    Btw- is that the minimax + or the standard one ? Sweet setup non the less, enjoy.

    The Minimax is the older version, not the latest
