Wow I am impressed...you must be a professional in the business or something. I notice the fancy guitar equipment, you must really know your music. Do you teach people on how to listen to music, too?

Hi Mike...nice to have you back. I am wondering which you prefer? the Dartzeel 50 ohm cable or your long time reference interconnect between CD player and preamp.
