I've been dying to ask this question. Do tvc preamps pretty well all sound the same. I've noticed that reviews of A/B between them seem to bounce back with there being little differences. I know there are tweaks and debates around silver wire versus copper etc etc but the characteristics all seem to boil down to similar characteristics and sound. Yes? Or am I under a misapprehension? They are certainly IMHO better than non TVC passive's - though a friend of mine isn't so convinced on this. Any musings folks?:confused:
