oh yes mono X all the way !

though cyrus have just announced a "variable servo" adaptation to the pre X preamp, filtering down to the cyrus 6 and 8 integrateds, making what hifi proclaim the 6vs the equal of the old 8. and p!$$ing a few people off who have just bought an 8 only to suddenly discover the 8vs at the same price (and some the very next day).

which means i have a few "upgrades" pending

have my "2nd system" aa5+ "les'd" to aaa5+

have my isotek / isol8 minisub "v2'd"

have my pre x "vs'd"

have my apa7's "mono x'd"

i was just diverting a few mins on google as a favour to bemcsa.
