Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King?

Tube vs. Solid State...Tube vs. Solid State...Zzzzzzzzzz...
Those days are over. Several years ago both Robert Harley and Jonathan Valin reviewed and Amp and Preamp from a company out of Scotts Valley, CA. called BAlabo, (Bridge Audio Laboratory}. After extended listening sessions Harley and Valin concluded that the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp and the BP-1 MKII amp are the worlds finest sounding products
and what they heard was the greatest listening experience of their entire careers. They concluded that their is no tube or solid state product anywhere on planet earth that even comes close to the performance level of these products.
Tubes have that special liquid, lush, blooming midrange and the BAlabo does all tubes will do but on a much higher, superior level from their solid state designs. Curious if any Philes out there own or have experienced these products.

Hello,

I own a pair of Halcro DM68 and it's very good amplifiers, far better than what is wrotten in this discussion.

I come mainly from tubes' systems and I found with Halcro a very good balance of the what I heard before. Since I have it (few years), I stopped looking around and it's always a good sign.
You can find stronger, with deeper bass or something else, but it's the first time that I have amplifiers at home and no more questions.

I use it with a pair of JBL K2 S9500.

Best
Ugo
