Bent Audio TAP-X vs. older TAP / Muisic First


Basically the question is this: are the new autoformers that John Chapman is using in the TAP-X at least as good as the old S&B TX102 mk3?

I'd like any one opinion who compared the old vs new Bent or the new Bent vs a music first copper or silver version (not the reference).

Ultrafitimes, in what ways did you prefer the autoformers to the transformers? How was it better?
Larry, can you flesh out your comments a bit regarding the comparison, and how does the Tap-x compared to other preamps you have tried, especially active tube linestages?
Ultrafitimes, thanks. Which with setup did you compare them?

What about current output and capability to drive low-impedance, low-sensitivity amps such as my firstwatt F3?
I had been wondering exactly the same thing. Ultrafitimes, have you had a chance to compare them side-by-side?
