Alot of preamp questions

Irwin,
This little passive Axiom, have you done much comparison with some of the other pre's mentioned in this threat? The only thing I'd be missing is the tube rolling factor and tube sound, which I personally like. I have a Zen SE84C select by decware which I use alone with some DIY fostex speakers, which I really love. But I'd like to get some of that tube sound into my primary system. I'd like to thank everyone for the responses to my question and dog gone it, I've got even more to think about! But I am starting to get it narrowed down. I'm going to just go used as mentioned and if It doesn't do what I'm after, then let it go and try again. I'm now using an old adcom pre that just really put's up a veil over my music. It was very noticeable when I auditioned the Adcom GFP-750 and the ARC LS3. Thanks again,
Sincerely,
Kelly

Kelly,I can only compare the Axiom to equipment I've owned.
In my opinion it is superior to my NAD C350,and the Space
Tech Lab QA-001 that I recently sold.Both sounded very good
in my system.The Axiom has excellent detail and dynamics
top to bottom,and a wide, deep soundstage.

Thanks Irwin,

For that price, it's at least taking a look at. Especially if it's as good as you say it is. I have to say, I kind of like the active sound of some of the tube amps. I would probably like what I'd get from a tube pre also.

Thanks,
Kelly
