Hattor Audio Autoformer Reference Preamplifier

Hey mitch2,

It’s interesting that you made this post. I just recently inquired about setting up a review for Stereo Times on the Hattor silver version of this preamplifier. If they are interested and set up the review with me I will have the information you are seeking

Hey Teajay, thanks for reaching out. I purchased the copper version and it is currently being built.  I didn’t choose copper particularly because of the price difference but because I have not read overwhelming consensus that silver is better wrt AVCs.

Arek knows me as a long-time customer so, if you are game, maybe we could ask him if we could swap units after your review and then we could both directly compare the silver and copper versions.  We could even schedule the hand-offs so that each of us would have both units in our houses at the same time for a week.  It would require him to treat both units as demo models and I would commit to either staying with the copper version that I already purchased, or sending it back and upgrading to a silver version, either the demo unit if you don’t buy it, or  a new unit. Of course, I would do Audiogon write-ups on both and the comparison.  Let me know if that sounds interesting to you and, if yes, we can reach out to Arek.

@mitch2 I also run the Hattor The Big Preamplifier and am looking forward to your comparison with the new autoformer pre. Also would like to hear your experience with how The Big Pre has compared to other brands.
