RE: New preamp, so far so good out of the box

Posted by bullethead on January 5, 2017 at 07:58:05:
Thanks for the kind words, the Taranis amplifier is an excellent feat of engineering. It has lots of power and drives my low sensitivity speakers with no problem. To have that kind of power from a traditional SS amp it would have to be be very big, large heat sinks, and drain my local power grid, hah.

This is my second day with the preamp, I've been running it for many hours now, very nice sound. I don't feel I am fully qualified to write reviews of audio equipment anymore, I know what I had before and what I have now. This is the best sounding preamp I've used so far, possibly due to the passive design, others say it is indeed a buffered passive.

Got a fine preamp I hope to get at least a decade or more out of before the upgrade bug hits me again. My system in in a state of the best I've heard, besides of course listening to megabuck systems at audio shows, that is a pipe dream, but good to know you can compare to something like that and not feel like you are missing out.
