AES AE-3 Tube Pre-amp Anybody hear one?


I am considering this kit/pre-amp and was interested to see if anyone has any experience with it from the standpoint of sound quality. I have read that it is very similiar to Cary's SPL-98.

We just became one of only two dealers in the U.S. outside the factory. Assembled form only. I have been tube rolling in the Super Amp. Dennis Had was here for a while last week and we just laughed at how good the sound of this $599 preamp is with $18,000 speakers Avantgardes hooked up to it. It fills a real niche for us, and unit that has texture and a real tube sound that also posseses bandwidth for little money. The only problem has been getting one. Apparently they cannot built them fast enough. One last thing. I have rolled a lot of tubes into the amp, and some into the preamp. They are so accepting. Stuff I could never out into some products work so well. This is great as it means that they are not running the heck out of the tubes.
