I own one and love it my MUSIC FIRST AUDIO V-2 but if anyone tells you it’s a performer with lower powered amps they are not being very honest or they cannot hear ....this preamp is incredible but needs at least 50 watts of amplifier power to sound good it is killer with my atma-sphere m-60’s or my ultra incredible 6c33c mono block triode quicksilver or my new 60 watt quicksilver kt88 mono blocks but no way with my audio note 8 watt interstage c core mono block 300b’s at 8 watts or my quicksilver 2a3 mono block 3.5 watt’ers. I’m using the incredible CHARNEY EXCALIBUR COMPANIONS WITH VOXITIV AC2.6 @ 104dB/watt which is helpful as it does not function as well nor is appropriate with my Merlin speakers
