Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

After reading reviews going back several years I decided to order one from China. For under $1400 it seemed to be worth the risk. It arrived in little more than a week and was crated for travel. It's the latest model with MM only. I'm using it with
my Soundsmith rebuilt Ortofon MC-20 and Bob's Devices 1131 transformer. Initial impressions are quite positive. It ships with Chinese tubes which are, I suspect, the weak link. It has a big, open and transparent sound. It is very quiet and the build quality is excellent. It weighs in at more than 30 pounds and is something of a beast. It replaces my Muse Line 3 which I have had for years and is the best solidstate linestage I've ever had. Long term listening is required but, so far, I don't regret the purchase.
