tubeguy, you can insult me all you like but it doesn't change the facts, the truth you refuese to believe

And that truth is that you put your best sound system together and I can take anyone wiht normal hearing blindfolded into a room with it and someone playing an actual unamplified musical instrument and they will have no trouble picking out which is which just about every single time. No amplifier or preamplifier which John Curl or anoyone else designs will change that fact. And if a sound system which could convince someone that they were hearing actual music were built, under an identical experiment, substituting a Citation 11 preamp or inserting a BSR equalizer would not alter that result either. Both do exactly what they are supposed to do as well as it needs to be done, just like those Home Depot speaker wires and Radio Shack interconnects do.

"I'm so glad I didn't take your route and start solving my own problems for myself"

You ought to be. You don't have the skill or the knowledge to even make a valliant stab at it so don't bother trying. It would be a complete waste of your time bound to end in failure. Go give your money to other people to do your thinking for you....no matter how inadequate they are at it.

"Just because you feel you know more than John Curl and some others on specific topics doesn't mean you can design a preamp like he does"

I don't have to, that's the whole point. His preamp would do nothing to make a sound system perform any better by my standards compared to a Citation 11 (which BTW is in series with a Marantz 3800.) It offers me nothing I'd consider of value and it does not have the equalizer I need. Would it help if they put a fancy cabinet around it, changed the name on it, charged fifty times what they did, and it got a good writeup in some goofy magazine after they ran some expensive ads in it?

"Case in point: I met a computer nerd who could barely hold a conversation with me. I'm IMHO definitely a lot smarter than this man, yet when it comes to designing, building and maintaining an extremely secure network system, he leaves me in the dust!"

Then I hope he's a lot clever than his counterparts at the worlds once Number one telecommunications company were. At the last minute I found a secure live network node in a space they had abandoned and were about to sublease to an outside tennant....in the very same building as the people in charge of their corporate network security sat. What a bunch of assholes.
