Update on Aric Audio's, The Motherlode.
The long awaited delivery took place yesterday afternoon. Taking into consideration that the big Dueland capacitors can take a few hundred hours to break in, and I am using freshly unboxed NOS tubes from Andy(shout out to Vintage Tube Services), I am already in awe of its sonic qualities. Big, punchy bass, a huge, articulate, three dimensional soundstage, dead quite in both the line stage and phono stage...this masterwork is destined to continue to bloom into an audio bouquet that stimulates all the senses...said for taste, suffice it to say! I am keeping it on and running a signal through it to speed up break in, and will report back in a few hundred hours or so. Aric, you are a credit to your craft...this piece is stunning in every way!
Cheers and happy listening!
