T, thanks for the pitching of the 6AS7 SRPP.

I would disagree with the quoted statement. I think you guys are not correctly understanding my definition of “transparency”. My vision of transparency is a situation when tonal, contrast and dynamic DIFFERENTIATION of notes are not changed. There are no RCA jacks that can do it. The jacks might bring some tonal coloration but they NEVER change the "differentiation" capacity of a component. I would LOVE to have a buffer that would introduce only a RCA jack-level lack of transparency! It would be completely irrelevant for me what kind permanent tonal discrepancies the buffer would have – I can deal with it. Unfortunately the buffers I've seen did something more miserable – the vibrant discrepancies and minimization of sonic granularity ....this is what I would like do not have.
