Even the Dared SL 2000a is better then the Metis.this preamp
With Tube rectification and single ended brings excellent articulation
And Excellent bass. With good NOSE tubes Sylvanis-RCA rectifier, snd RCA black plate 12at7 for around $100!it transforms this pream .
Use a good power cord. If you replace the 2 input capacitors, and 4 coupling caps you will be shocked.without any problem meet or beat $3,000 preamps.
