Carver and Phase Linear are very detailed but forward sounding preamps. It’s like sitting on stage as opposed to 7th row center like most preamps, or row 25 like Marantz..
I like it sometimes, but listening fatigue is the order of the day. Conversely, I could listen to Sansui and Marantz all day long. Some McIntosh and Citation gear as well. I would lean towards the Hafler.
it was always well thought of.
