Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $500.00

Summary:
amount of circuit i put into this.
(hand-made 4 way attenuator/nickel cored ringcore trans/all chasis 1cm durallumin etc..)
more than 6 months, i improved this.
now, i feel better and satisfiy with this.
the mood of it's sound is bright, accurate, and arranged.
especially it can display sound like 3d image. ^^
frankly, i had had little hope this to supress tube type preamp like marantz c7 type, and i failed as i supposed it might be...

at any rate, i spended about $500.
within the 1000$ pre-amplifier, this may be the best.
but comparing with nowadays high-cost(more than 5000$ class) pre, this may be classified in the mid-end-fi ^^

Strengths:
excellent image, clearity, focus, balance.
proper high tone, accurate and speedy low tone. etc

Weaknesses:
hard to make.
can't suppress the high tone of EIRIDICE single/push-pull, but can supress everage pre-amp within 1000$ in every aspect.

Similar Products Used:
audio research LS-2 MK II, EURIDICE(417 single), EURIDICE PushPull(417 p.p/Full Balance), BAT 3i/VK 50

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
