Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

On Plinius, flip the switch to class A. Wait for warming up half an hour. The sound becomes very analog and full body. The soundstage is 3D and huge. The sound is so pretty. Better than the $300K system I heard.Associated equipments
