Re: Decware Zen Triode Preamp Preamplifier (Tube)

Hey Guys,

In defense of the PREAMP, yes I own one, in fact I was one of the first buyers and got a great discounted prototype...Steve has always been fantastic and fanatical about cusotmer satisfaction and audio as we are.

I own the Sub, the ZEN AMP, two, in the original aluminum chassis's...I've never had any problems with any of it...ever...I am listening to Pat Masseney (sp??) right now via the Tannoy Westminsters and the dual Zen amps, one per speaker...the ZEN preamp driving them...I switch between a number of modified caps I've added, tweaked with Steve's recommendation...I've even made the modification to different version's of the amp and preamp as he evolves with NO TROUBLE EVER...I use ASC polycarb. caps, westcap Oils' and two other sets. via an extra switch I added....please note the amps I use are not common and fairly rare, esoteric, etc...

I love Steve's attitude and equip....especially since Steve sold me bench models that needed work and thye still sound grand...

I've run the PREAMP with the following on the fly changes to bias, cap and mute switches with no problems, and NEVER SHUT DOWN:

Mesa Baron
All Manner of Marshall and Ampeg amps...

Mesa Tigris,
Dynaco all models,
Heathkit A9c, w5m, w6m
Homebrew SE DHT 45, 2a3, 245, etc...

ZEN amps...even a B*K, gulp solid state amp and an old Pioneer...

My speakers are VOT Altecs, Tannoy Westminsters, all manner of Marshall stacks, Klipsch Horns, Tannoy M2, etc, etc, B&W nautilus....

Never a problem...try it again.
