Not at all. They are a win big time. Got lucky really.
And I fully refute the henpecked claim.
Will respond more after I’ve tidied up and made the dinner.

It’s pretty big but what a fabulous piece of kit which cost me nothing just traded in an EAR 324 and COS D1 pre which I bought predominantly for its DAC but realise now it was the main problem in my system.
Complete impedance mismatch I’ve got tons of headroom now was maxing the COS volume out

And people who don’t know the difference between ‘infer’ and ‘imply’
I infer from that statement that you are implying that you do know the difference. I wish I did.

‘Imply’ means to state indirectly using allusion or suggestion whereas ‘infer’ is how upper class women dress.

The real weakness of my system has always been the pre amp. Currently this is an old technics SU-X860 which is actually an integrated amp with external pre / power links. While I love technics kit it’s not that great and just does the job’ and no more.
I of course have a number of ‘watched items’ on that eBay place and occasionally they send offers to people watching items. I picked up a tissot heritage navigator for a ridiculously low price and a short while ago I got an offer to buy a Tag McLaren Avr32 for under £200 including postage.
I remember back in the early aughts the TM AVR32 was always well regarded as not only an av processor but also as a 2 channel pre. So I thought it’d be rude not to.
Should be here early next week so fingers crossed it’s not fucked or sounds like nails down a blackboard, mind you I lived with a Naim NAC82 for years so anything will sound good.
Anyone use / used one a a pre? Have I made I gigantic fuck up?
