Wavac PR-X2

Does anyone have some experience with this preamp? How does it compare to other top level preamps like the VTL 7,5 , Lamm Reference, Darzteel etc? Does it have a warm sound or could you describe it as a neutral preamp? To be honest I would like it to have a neutral sound!

Im looking to match it with my MD-805m monoblocks!

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Michael,
I've had the four chassis Jadis, the VTL 7.5 Mk II and the Atma-Sphere two chassis preamp and the latest Zanden. All are excellent offerings, but the Wavac, tube rolled with NOS 1955 Mullards beats them all in the fields of resolution, soundstage, naturalness and sheer "musicality". It is absolutely quiet and has very good dynamics. I use it to drive either the VTL Siegfrieds or the 220watt Atma-Spheres to drive my Sound Lab speakers.
Hope this helps.
Happy New Year,
Detlof
