Sunfire Theater Grand ll


Anyone have honest feedback on this preamp? I keep hearing great things? I want to know if its good with 2ch music as well as movies.

I liked with the TG II for nearly a month and used it mostly for 2 channel. I was pleasantly surprised with the phono section. I use an Oracle Premier IV special edition table with an SME 3009 arm and Ortofon 5000 MC cartridge with a transformer step up. (I took care to break in the main areas of the preamp with 24hr x 7days of classical FM.) The noise level on the phono section seem very good, and it reproduced a detailed representation that rivals many tube preamps I am familure with. I couldn't tell any difference between the Sunfire's dacs and those in my Denon 5000 dvd player. Ultimately, for me, I think the Meridian trifield and digital processing system may be superior for not much more money. Still, I could live with the Sunfire. The remote is a dream to use and integrates easily and well with video and cd/dvd equipment. My family loved its looks. You have to agree it looks superior to Meridian stuff.
