    It's great to know that your CP buddies are always there to help you draining your checking accounts...;)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    What did you expect from a bunch of audio enablers??? You start a thread on tubed pres, you get all the tube junkies pushing you in the right direction. Notice I said the RIGHT direction.

    I forgot you just bought a new one. well, thats a hell of a ss pre to compare a tube pre to. I remember now being tempted on buying the one you sold (to Madmax I believe). I'm going to be really curious as to your impressions of a good tube pre compared to that A3CR.

    Steve - I was in a Barnes & Noble the other day and decided to look through some of the audio magazines. As I was flipping through one, I ran across a review on the PrimaLuna preamp and amp, so I read through it. The reviewer was very impressed with the combination. I can't remember which magazine it was, but it was either Stereophile or The Absolute Sound. Just FWIW.

    If I do get a tubed pre, the A3CR won't be sold until I'm "sold"...LOL
