RE: One more thing...
Posted by Ric Schultz on January 3, 2017 at 19:01:38:
The CD I mostly play is low level recorded so am using the volume control at -9. Sounds outrageous. I will be listening soon to discs with higher volume and I will naturally be turning down the volume more. I still expect seriously great sound. Using a separate preamp is certainly one of those debatable things. Personally, I have not used a separate preamp in 30 some years. I either have a nude Vishay resistor shunt attenuator inside the amp (mostly) or use the 32 bit digital attenuator in the Gustard. Both sound great.
I have done more to the Gustard Pro and not only have I got it to level one mod but have found some even better sounding diodes and also a transformer mod that makes it even better. I simply am gobsmacked by this thing. Stock it was OK....but just with the new level one mod it is incredible....CDs sound like 24/96....so much information it is scary good.....my neighbors probably were thinking I was having orgasms as I kept screaming and Wowing in delight.....never heard anything like this before....except live.
