Any experience with Audio Experience A2 preamp ?


Hi,
I am interested to know about your edperience with Audio Experience (YS Audio, a hong Kong based company) A2 tube preamp. Where does it stand in comparison with Asthetix Calypso, Emotive Audio Syra, CAT SL1 mk-III, Audio Research Ref 3, or Ayre K1xe (though it is a solid state unit) ? I know these preamps have wide range of prices. Any other comparison will be also helpful.
Thanks,

Hi. I know this thread is old, but may be someone is reading )))
I've heard an A2 Plus recently in my system, used, but very low hrs, and thinking of buying it, because I think it sound really great. Especially I was struck by razor-sharp delineation of everything, dead background, retrieval of low level detail, etc. In my system though it sounds a bit dark. I wonder what can be done to make it sound a bit brighter, more open? Not like Audio Research, but a little? I'm pretty handy with soldering iron, so can replace parts no problem. Thank you.
