I would also consider your preamp, c-j preamps, from that era at least, were known for having a bit of a golden glow. It makes for a musically pleasing sound but perhaps a bit dark or to some veiled, That said I am not sure the degree to with Teflon caps might ameliorate that effect.
Looking for more transparency.
I’d like to achieve more transparency in my set. I’m thinking a change of cable(s) might help.
Right now I have Morrow MA 4 Interconnects between components, and Morrow MAP 2 power cords from my monoblock amps.
My set consists of a newly Teflon capped Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp, Nuforce 9v3 class D monoblocks, Gumby Multibit DAC, Arcam streamer, Oppo 105 for SACDs, Cyrus transport and GoldenEar Triton I speakers with Cardus speaker cables.
