AudioSoul,
I was once spare with EAR 834 (with V.control) for 2 hours audition. Setup as direct to my Dynaco ST70 and skip my Canary 601 pre. I found myself fall in love with this simple set up. Only thing is I have to tune way to 12 o'clock for an acceptable loudness-
I am quite convience with 70db from Jolidah, adding a v.control can do a better job here. Any upgrade or mod have been carry out in your Jolidah?
Many thanks.
