Hi Mrderrick,Honestly I have had a bunch of pre's and trust me the REF 1 is only a decent pre but nothing crazy. The Rhodium IEC that allowed the use of the excellent over achieving Mad Scientist PC-NEO with Power Purifier AC Power Cable and NOS t...

Review: Darwin Cable Company Truth Interconnect
Just cut a deal with Tony on 2 pairs of 3 foot TRUTH Interconnects and can't wait to hear them. He says they are much better than my Ascensions and will "Knock my socks off" so I am really looking forward to it. I will let you guys know my opinion...

PS Audio Direct Stream
