Epitaph to the Transcendent Grounded Grid:

Sad Note is that Bruce from Transcendent has decided to discontinue the Unit. Not because of performance but because of its relative slow mainstream sales. It seems that most people equate price with sound quality and because of its US $1000 price category, people arent willing to try it out. Well Soundstage did and it became Soundstage Reviewers Choice Component 98 for preamps.

Let me tell you audiophile snobs,you have missed out on a
true blue killer preamp.In my system, it replaced a $$4000++
big name tube pre. The Stock Grid is one of the quietest and fastest tube preamps at any price.And with the help of Bruce and others on the Transcendent site, many Grid owners have upgraded the caps and power supplys to make their grids even more superior. I call mine with upgrades , the Grounded Grid Deluxe BR.

On a more positive note, Im sure many of you Grid owners have now realised that you should hold on to your Grids as they have reached the superclassic status. I wont be selling my mine now even at double the original cost.IMHO,
so superior is the topology, I have plans to rewire with better cables and throw in a better volume pot for the final "Signature Touch".

Thanks agin to Bruce for all his advice and for offering a great real world preamp.
