I hope nobody is getting tired of great reviews (I'm not, but if you are, let me know and I won't post any good reviews, but I won't post bad reviews either !! )
AND, I just have to keep saying this, shouting this . . . IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN SP14 PREAMP, ** GET ONE **
OK, this just in from Mark in Sacramento . . . .
I have had a lot of fine preamps in my system over the years, including CJ, Klyne, Belles, Modwright, Berning, and of course the C-I (HarmonKardon Citation1),
and this preamp is hands-down the stellar performer of all of them. It is simply the finest preamp I have ever had in my system, which has evolved over the past 40 years.
I am eager to compare the sound of this preamp with my San Francisco Audio Society friends to inform them of the performance of a tube preamp based on octal tubes.
Hats off to you for this stunning achievement that takes the “big boys” out of the loop and permits regular guys like me to enjoy high fidelity music reproduction
at an affordable price.
Cheers,
Mark
Mark also had this to say about the SP14 when he first got it a week ago . . .
Moment by moment, the sound of this preamp is revealing its magic with absolutely zero detractions. Among its attributes, I am stunned at the black background
on silent passages in music. It was no bother with the C-I, but this starts and stops at a black wall of silence. A SS preamp could not be more quiet.
