One of the best sounds I've every heard was an SME30 into a Manley steelhead<>Custom valve pre and 360 spectral mono's and BH II's (nothing to do with me   )

Superb everywhere, a truley musical experiance

That was my Vinyl reference, until I heard a Teac P01/D01 forget Vinyl, just listen to one. Quite amazing.

I still rate the WTR for total musicallity,however the SME30 is most formidable. Wm
