Hello to all,I would like to clear the Air , when I found out that there was a major upgrade to the MK-3 Version preamp being I just ordered this the end of December I was a bit upset..the owner Mark called me personally and explained the whole layout which is a Huge upgrade and these new Ceramic circuit boards are 8x as much $$ monies as the previous ones , dynamic swings will be night and day better with a 80k uf capacitor upgrade giving you well over 100k Uf for dynamic swings, and soundstage and greater image depth.
being 67 years old with partial disabilities and on a limited income I over reacted , the pricing is pretty fair when you realize they have to gut the whole interior and all the New ceramic boards location changes , far more allotted space for all this capacitance upgrades , with a newer better soft start to go even easier on you $$ costly Vintage tubes.
- the Rays tube upgrade is excellent BTW. Mark literally called me Personally for I was at the tail end of the Mk2 order. He is old school like myself and his integrity is first and foremost . I totally didnot understand the complexities of the Massive upgrade. There are over 10 upgrades ahead of me. The week after next I am sending my MK-2 Micro Z- OTL in for the transformation , I will use my trusty Isotek Run in cd for the breakin 24 -7 for a week . I now own 3 precision pieces of electronics from them. These guys are one of only a handful who put their reputation first and foremost. I will give you a honest review of my upgrade findings .Enjoy your music 🎶 Fellow Audiophiles.
