I like the Modulus 3 and would put it a bit ahead of the PV12 (an PV5). but it isn't up to my main system preamp, a CJ Premier 14.
Conrad Johnson PV12 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3a
For those who've heard either preamp, and especially for anyone who's compared these two preamps head to head, what are your thoughts on them? My specific concerns based on forum searches are that the CJ sounds slow and the Modulus 3a sounds bleached / thin. What are your experiences, esp. if you compared them?
