I promised myself I'd never do this
jeff, don't overlook a melos preamp, if you can find one used. i got a melos music director a few months ago, & it's fantastic! unbelievable dynamics, great frequency extension, plenty of gain (the current owner of melos sez ~25% of melos owne...

khokugo, forgive me, but i'm not sure what it is you refer to, when you ask about articles *on this*. my opinion about the 100.2 being "clandestine" cuz its a ss amp made by a company known for their toob-stuff is yust that - an opinion. my experi...

Audio Research 100.2 amp
khogkugo, the 100.2 is *clandestine*, cuz it's solid-state, made by one of the reknowned tube mfr's. i've heard it driving a pair of proac 2.5's w/a res-audio cd-50 thru an arc ls-16 preamp - *wery* nice.

preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn

preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn
david, i paid $1800 for my music director - it was supposed to have all the latest capacitor updates from the ma-333, besides having the alps pots in lieu of the ma-333's photentiometer set-up. but, i guess the old melos, struggling in its last da... 
Best sounding preamp under 2K?
rolf, my recommendation uses 4 6922's, but i still recommend it - i *love* mine! :>) the melos music director or ma333 (the ma333, the earlier version, doesn't have the same caps, but it *does* have the photentiometer volume control, which i th... 
preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn
