Naturally or experience varies.
The op is asking what can he do cheap. I only mentioned my experience with a Buffer in relation to a buffer i found worthwhile. (I was not suggesting the op bbuy an expensive preamp..) The best cheap bits to try are the ferrite, which on AC and interconnect offer a bit of relief.
I would have to spend $10,000 or more on digital to beat what i have now. A price i am not willing to pay, since i am very happy with how my digital setup sounds.
