    Do we accept pre-amp porn? Just got this in to see if it is better than running -50gb on the rockna digital volume.

    No surprise the ATC sca-2 is better.

    This is like the foot fetish of amplifier porn. I can see why others might like it, and good for them, but doesn't really get my motor running!

    Nagra!
    They used to be more exquisite nipple on a perfectly-formed breast.

    The day I got my hands on a Porn Star
    .

    Early 70s... a friend worked for the BBC and had brought home a portable Nagra reel-to-reel. Tiny thing. Like a watchmaker had made a tape deck.

    Just that once, but never to be forgotten!

    These days, I fear they are more porn than engineering? I hope to be wrong, and anyway, still good-looking stuff.

    The new Ra180 integrated amp from Hifi Rose is crazy looking:
