Hi Lon, I hope your move went well and all is well in your new surroundings....as you will have to adjust to a northern winter once again.
Yes, I do ride the gain currently with my AA DAC/adjustable voltage output/via remote. However, I am not riding the gain via my AA DAC with remote into the CSP2+, then into either my CS or CKC.
Here is what I'm doing: I am putting the First Watt J2, Pass INT-30A on hold and enjoying my wonderful SE84CS & down right organic CKC this summer. I am going to continue to read Steve's thread about his new creation (Mystery Amp) that I am interested in too.
Come this Fall when the weather turns foul here in MN I am seriously considering all of these in no particular order:
-Taboo MK III
-Mystery AMP
-J2
-INT 30A
-CSP2+ ....and purchase a new Kimber Select 1030 from the Cable Co. per discount repeat customer...that I will need. The 1030 has such a profound effect in conjunction with my KS 3033 it will be a must.
Thanks Lon, I know you have been an advocate of the Steve's great Pre's and I need to bring one in here. -Stone
19 bids and counting on the KS1036 here:
