Problem with Cinemag and AA 2006 phono. - Page 4

Sounding better is a highly subjective thing.

I think "CD munching" transformers are the best upgrade to any CD player or DAC that uses chip or discrete I/Vs. Transformers tend to exaggerate transients, which we perceive as warmth. Vinyl already has warmth.

I like transformers. But in your case I would probably stick with FETs. On the other hand, if you plan to eventually go tubes...

This is the best answer I can give.

Thanks for your thoughts. My preamp and amp are already tubes.
