Hi all you GR Research fans,
I want to thank all of you that have posted about the Dodd equipment. You gave me just enough info and enthusism to make me comfortable purchasing an entry level preamp and 8 watt amp.
My system (previously Morrison ELAD to Pass Labs Aleph 3) which was too bright and grainy when fed by a Mac computer for source via a USB to RCA interface, is now so listenable, enjoyable, even without a DAC (scott Nixon tubedac). when DAC is inline I dont miss my Jolida CDP, or solid state equipment at all. Whats more the typical criticism of tube amps (and the reason I have shyed away) ie the lack of extension in the lows and highs, DOES NOT APPLY here. I have better, deeper, more controlled bass and better, more enjoyable highs with the Dodd 8wpc stereo amp than I ever did with the 30wpc aleph.
As an aside, Gary Dodd is real stand up guy who has gone beyond the call of duty in helping me.
Thanks again guys (and Danny for hosting), and thanks to Gary Dodd
Dimitri
