Frequently Asked Questions
The OP4BT preamp is good, but lacks the nuance and dynamic range of more expensive systems; it's best for clean or lightly processed sounds.

Lyracord is a composite material, offering durability but slightly dampening the natural resonance; it's still quite good, but won’t have the complex overtones of all-wood construction.
