@Macette1 It's a preamplifier. Basically a very expensive volume control. It collects the output from various audio devices and sends that to my horribly powerful power amplifier, which then lobs it at my speakers. Net result is about 105dB of sound, which is as close to heaven as I'm ever likely to get.

It's also a totally unnecessary extravagance, because I already have a perfectly serviceable preamp which cost me about $150, but...but...

You'll probably get a kick out of this thread I started and some of the replies to it.

Yes. The only question is which ones and in which order.

I wish my hobbies weren't so damned expensive.

Which ever one you wish you can afford it

Yes it's gone. That's how they managed to get the screen portion almost paper thin.

I noticed that its now getting hard to find the 2015 MacBooks, Obviously people are snapping them up as they can't/won't pay the new prices.

I'm referring to my spec, Not sure on the lower spec.

Might be good to wait another year:
