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

I took today off from work, received the Merrill Audio Taranis a few hour ago.
Sound is very very different from ICE (comparing to my Bel Canto REF500S) A completely new sound. More airy, more decay, better bass, I don't hear any grain or harsh glaze.
It is just an hour or so, I will chime in after a few weeks, I am impressed and impressed at the power this thing has as well. Drives my Gallo Ref 3.5 no problem, and these are hard to drive.
Overall a very nice change,
