That nice, unforced, relaxed, easeful sound ??

G m c you suck! I want the Vibe preamp too. Sell me yours real cheap OK? Yeah I am working on it also. Wish my wife would move out so that I could get there faster HA!

Happy Listening.

After a thousand + hours to break in my speakers, I'm finally there.

Don't blame you Biz, the Evans is pretty amazing. One does not realize how critical the pre can be until you experience the dead quiet of a good box. Now, if I could only swing a Groove, or better yet, a Groove Plus.

Keep working on it.

I've got that ease on both the digital and analogue in my system. I can't stand it when I hear a hi-fi sounding system and those little digital bugs start crawling up my spine. Unacceptable ... and definitely avoidable.

Enjoy,
Bob

Be careful, not all recorded music and I mean well-recorded music is nice, unforced, relaxed and easeful. Violins, brass, drums, pianos, guitars (both electric and acoustic) and certain vocalists can all sound aggressive, shrill, edgy and downright upleasant. A high end system should be able to accurately produce whatever is feed into it.
