Dammit I hesitated on the soundsmith and lost out

Yes go for the soundsmith, I have had both in my system and I am friends with Boris of Vista.
Boris is agreat guy but the Soundsmith is better by a large degree.
When you want to move to moving coil call me, that pre with a good stepup(like Slagle) will be killer, trust me

Matter of opinion.  Guy that bought my Vista also owns the Soundsmith, and he tells me he prefers the Vista.  Smoother and more musical, he says.  Just reporting, I don't know from personal experience, but I did very much enjoy the Vista.

How's it hangin', Rumproast?

Been there, done that!  

You know how the saying goes "... He who hesitates, finds something else to buy!"

  Back to topic. The Mundorf SIO caps are settled in. 400 hours to stop changing. Duelund CAST1.0 are coming in for the Arions. The original caps are Cardas.
    Has anyone noticed that if using tubed gear the tube and the cap synergy is key to cap selection ?

I have Wonder Caps in my SP8 because that was what was popular back then. I was "wondering" (pun intended  ) if I should upgrade to something more current and possibly better. Most have told me not to screw with it just leave it be. But the tinker audiophile in me just loves to eff with things and get in trouble  )
