In about 1982 I ran two Ambers as monoblocks. They were decent sounding solid state devices and, as I remember, the company was run by a passion for audio and music making. I don't even remember a pre-amp, though.
I had the stereo 70 and it was a good amp but was a step backwards from the Dynaco tube amp I sold for it.Peter Aczel of the Audio Critic liked the amp back when what he had to say meant something.
6 years later ... :) Do you have schematics for the "amber preamp 2"? I have one of these preamps and the balance control isn't exactly balancing ... I would like to have it fixed.
My brother still has the one I obtained in the very early '90's from a pro studio here in Nashville. Sublime with the Dynaco Stereo 70 I used it with. He still uses that same kit with his Paradigm Atoms. Really special.
Used mostly TL072 J-FET Opamps which to this day I feel offers superb sound thanks to my years with this unit.
