Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?


Canary tube preamps appear to offer good build quality for the money, especially on the second hand market. It is therefore surprising there isn’t much info on this brand throughout the web — not many user or “pro” reviews. What’s the deal? Do they not perform well?

That's a beauty. It makes me drool. I have the entry level model and it sounds better than any other pre I've owned. I can only imagine how good it is.

I bought a used one from Peter at PBN Audio a couple of months ago, and even though it's the lowest model, it is the best pre I have owned. Before buying it, I spoke with a Canary dealer, and he explained that even though he thought that they were the best pre's around, he was liquidating his stock because the owner of the company does not promote the brand and they are therefore very hard to sell. 

I really love mine and I would recommend the brand. And yes, they are beautifully laid out inside.
