Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $2000.00 from Audiocompaniet Norwa

Summary:
Totally analogue hometheater preamp with valves. It sounds the part as well. It is tonally rich, relaxed and very musical. This is the preamp for the music lover that also wants a high-end hometheater possibility. It is not a high-tech wonder for cinema lovers who are not very interested in high-end audio reproduction in stereo. They will be better off with a high quality receiver or processor/power-amp combination.

Strengths:
Fabolous sound in both stereo and multi-channel. Perfect for SACD and DVD-Audio.

Weaknesses:
No processor built in, so you will have to rely on the processor in your DVD-player. There is also only one 6-channel input possibility, so it will not be possible to attach for instance both DVD and sat.
