Sidebar 1: CG's System
The listening setup consisted of my self-modified Philips CD-50 fed my buffered passive preamp, this connected to the amplifiers under review. Interconnects and speaker cables were Straight Wire Maestro. Speakers were either Spica Angeluses or Thiel CS1.2s; all line-level gear was plugged into the Audio Express NoiseTrapper Plus.—Corey Greenberg
