With over 300 hours on my 160 Buffer, I must tell you what a magnificent addition this is to my CD-based 2-channel stereo system. It has integrated superbly with my Placette passive preamp by preserving utter clarity and sound stage yet providing added punch to the entire sound spectrum. Also,the added gain is perfect for those few low output CD labels.
Thank you Burson for this fine component.
