Slow and Steady...

Description

This has been evolving for 20 years. I am content for now---yeah right! I think that the next step will be on the computer/ipod/DAC front. It is a new world of audio out there and I guess now is the time to take the plunge into download music.

I am entertaining the idea of a single ended tube amp for low level listening and like the fact that my pre has 3 outputs--I can change amps from a button on the front panel. I will add pics later.

Any comments are more than welcomed!!

I wonder if Sim will have an upgrade so you could add a USB
input as well. Then if you ever decided to do the server thing, you'd be set. Are your Mac amps tubed as well? That Aries table should really perk things up! What is the main difference between it and the Scoutmaster? Are you changing arms as well?
