As per Grannyring, I agree with the TRL Dude suggestion. Don't let the reasonable price fool you. It is superb. I love mine, and it's the most natural, effortless sound you can imagine. I just received my Duelund cast caps and will be installing them soon, can't wait to hear the difference. FWIW: Paul is great to deal with
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
hi, can anyone suggest tube preamp that's good for handling complex music & large scale symphonies recordings in studio/ theatres? i had audition some: Aesthetix, CJ ,Modwright, Audio Note, ARC but all seems lacking in some ways and definitely not enough air at top octaves and instruments separation/ spaciousness. all dealer agrees that some pre is good at certain genre of music and sound Great even more if music is relatively SIMPLE like vocal, jazz, light acoustic, slow rock and maybe pop songs. Yes i know personal taste varies as well: bass strength & high freq. extension etc. & gears matching too. could anyone share their expreience so i can narrow down a list? my music typically: Van Hellsing & Princess Mononoke movie soundtrack. hope dealers provide constructive comments. Thanks All in advance. -phil
