Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $575.00 from http://www.audio-occasion.qc.ca/

Summary:
This is a very musical tubes preamp. Same musicality as a Quad, with more details and smoothness. It is a Class A
design and you will hear the difference. I hope it will keeps this beautiful warm sound for many years to come...
You can buy it in a kit for DIY, or ready to use. Mine was the demo., in perfect condition (new). With this set-up, it is really hard to shut it to off! You are close to a C.-J.
with this preamp...


My budget set-up,

Passion L-12 (www.rotac.com)
Cambridge Audio D-300 SE
Tuner: Teac (T-300)(mini)
Quad 306
PSB Alpha
Acoustic Reasearch cables.

Strengths:
clarity, details, smoothness, price, good internal design.

Weaknesses:
none so far.

Similar Products Used:
