i am reprinting this from the torii 3 forum because it also applies to this phono pre and will give you an idea of what you can expect to hear.
this amp also lets you know if your money has been well spent on sources and other upgrades. a few of my recent changes. 1st, exchanged my very good copper speaker wires for silver from the torii to the err's. small upgrade, better spacial balance but not a killer, the other wire was very good and very close, had to go back and forth. 2nd, silver interconnect substituted between phono pre and torii. watch out, not even close. the increase in clarity was easily heard, no need to switch back and forth with that. 3rd, exchanged the sme arm for the jmw 12 inch on the tnt table with delos cart. unbelievable. can now easily hear that the tuba is behind the trombones just like real life. the system was always excellent spacially, but in a diffuse sort of way. no longer. however, this isn't a commercial for a tone arm but for the fact that the torii and the decware phono let all of this happen, no guessing. it is revealing without being "ruthlessly revealing".
