35 year old joy

@elliottbnewcombjr Thank you for the recommendation.  I am a little old school with a ARC SP9 MK II preamp which was also rebuilt.  I need to put the rest of my system in AGON  to help those like you helping me.  Thank you again as I have seen you make many good recommendations on the forum to many audiophiles.

well, that preamp, you can use one of the tape loops for the optional use of the Remote Line Controller, that is one way to prove it is sonically invisible. 

@elliottbnewcombjr

Still a good idea as there are good old tape loops available.  Will be taking a look.  Thank you.
