Anyone try the teo preamp?
yes 3 of us had a shootout with it against a modded bottlehead beepre. 2 out of 3 preferred the bottlehead and the third guy was on the fence saying he could hear positives to both.
The teo preamp sounded like a typical passive, a hair on the polite side lacking a bit of drive and impact.
The bottlehead had better bass,mids, presence and staging, the only thing the teo did slightly better was the highs. We also had one of the teo interconnects going from pre to amps and I could discern no difference in sound from my neotech.
System was a pair of Sophia 845 monos driving a pair of Tannoy yorkminsters
Source was a loaded vpi tnt with a vandenhul colibri on a SME tonearm going into a Herron phonostage.
