LOL!
If I did that, the MLs would cut out at 270hz.... talk about anemic bass response!
2 days and counting.
I have 3 preamps in my room at the moment, the Cary SLP-98, the Rogue Audio 99 preamp, and the Rogue Audio Metis preamp. All 3 are tube preamps and all 3 sound good. But I think I'm going to go with the Cary 98 for the listening session as I think it is the most musical and best vocals.
Cant wait for wednesday, my Sylvania NOS 6SN7GTA tubes arrive and I'm going to replace the cheapie Chinese tubes of the Cary.

Aren't they going to need time to break in first?

Actually, with tubes, he may have a point.

Tubes are going in prior to the demo... I want to see if I actually like it.
I'm having a hard time deciding between the preamps.... the Cary SLP98 is great... but so is the Rogue 99 in its own ways. Been a/b-ing it with the Summits and it's hard since each has it's own signature to the sound. I want to choose the better one prior to the demo/listening session tomorrow.
Damn this...
