OK guys, here we go. The clear transparent and pure sound of the passive alone is pleasing to say the least. With the addition of the buffer there is just more there there. The sound is BIGGER, FULLER more authoritative . A much larger sound stage with more 3D imaging. Tonality and harmonic structure remain the same as with the TVC alone. The buffer just enhances what the TVC does and does well. Remember the difference over your previous preamp. Well be prepared to be shocked again. Without sounding like a pompous ass, unless you [ in general] have had the pleasure of listening to a CJ Act2 , AR Ref. 2, Wytech Opal, Mark Levenson Ref, Loesch & Wiesner, or the like in your system you are not going to appreciate where I am coming from. I did not want to use this analogy before as not to insult anyone, however Class "A" is Class "A" for a reason. The TVC alone is an excellent piece, with the buffer it is stellar. Can we live without the buffer, yes we can. When you hear what the buffer brings to the table with the TVC IMO there is no going back. The combo is that good. To date the TVC is installed before the buffer as Nicholas reccommends. I have not tried the reverse as of now. When it breaks in 100% I'll give it a go. The Energizer as well expanded the sound with a dead quite background. The bass is utterly explosive and even more focused than before which is unbelievable to me. GHM if you are reading this , please shed some input as to your findings with the Energizer in place. Am I nuts altogether or a happy customer? rollo

(When the sun goes down, the sound of my system deteriorates considerably because the electricity becomes very noisy.) I have plenty of volume, plenty of bass, (I sold my subwoofer), and I nothing to complain about. One thing, I can't use my old phono preamp with the TVC, not enough gain I guess.

Does anyone know something about the 6moons pre(re)view ? A month or so ago it was in the previews but haven't seen it since.
