    Yes, It improves that by lowering the probability of the standing waves. It also lowers the viability of any "Particle Scatter" geometries. Since there is a bit less of that bothersome and pesky- "Geometric, free-standing space". And less area for any large volumes of gaseous mass to accumulate. Also, My "7.83Hz", "Schumann Resonance", "Pulse Generator" which keeps it nice and [comfy-cozy] though!

    {As calibrated to (High Theta ~HB^).
    "With a [3(30.437Hz)], ("Yes", -Three phase)", "Off-setting scaled, Bias variant".
    "Since 7:24.49, July 13th, 2020"}.
    Perchance? Has anyone else noticed this????

    And of course it is fully monitored with an "Ion exchange apparatus", which I've designed and built. That keeps the entire area at it's optimal "Constant", of "Negative Ionic, particulate density" and also works as a "Higgs Field", "Polarity Rectification" device to keep the "Quantum Stasis, Higgs Boson, post-generational, field rings", In a perfect "Quasi-alignment". At all times.
    (Just as I am sure all here, address these same little details in your own listening vaults. And in your own ways....). (Probably through "Quantum Entanglement")?
    Oh, I almost forgot!
    It is also the absolute, "Finest", of "Frozen Margarita" machines and apportioning dispensers as well! As it is fully "autonomous" and "self-aware",
    of the appropriate ion's it helps to eschew in it's quest for
    "Balance".
    And as well, exactly how much "Tequila", I went through last weekend.
    "And the Force"......as It seeks to bring balance....
    Between my...(Hang-overs), and the ("Force")...
    Oop's, I meant "My Ex".
    But yeah, It's neat.
    It even plays music sometimes too!

    It's a good pre, some suggest changing out the caps that came with that kit for a huge difference. It's one of the better kit style pre amps of it's time.

    Cary 200t should be on your radar.

    Looking for something with bigger tubes, I don't care for the sound of the small signal tubes.

    Maybe not quite that extreme for a dac, just something that can use kt150 or something along those lines. Some of the lampizator dacs use big power tubes, but a little more than I want to spend.
