There is something to be said for a single box solution.
Yeah a few good benefits. Looks nice, simple, less wires to look at and finance.
This will cost less than it would cost to buy just the purple wires it would take to connect a DAC, TT/outboard phone stage and a power amp to a separate line stage pre.
Truedat... new version is pricier and not even purple anymore!
My system is too detailed now so I haven't been using the purples (JPS SuperConductor3.) I found a pro audio installation cable $0.22/foot that I really like. I'm afraid to do a direct comparison
Might kill my JPS fanboy cred.
