Opinions on Hovland HP 100


Looking into this pre-amp but do not have a local dealer. Strongly recommended by a friend who has roughly the same system as I . I have never listened to it. My pre-amp does need upgraded. I like the sound of Audio Research but am told that Hovland and the TacT RCS are better. Any thoughts ? Thanks!!

I tried the HP 100 in my system. I found that it did some things very well.. Voices were about the best I heard, Highs were smooth and silky, The dynamics were lacking and the overall presentation was ... weak. The best advice is to get one to TRY in your system. We all have different tastes and goals in what we like.
