Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?

Downunder, I get that. It seems that your situation illustrates the issue that, if there *is* a 'best' preamp, it would be almost impossible to find it, for no other reason than its almost impossible to get your hands on all the possibilities for audition!

I've been told that our distributor in WA is no longer in business; his website is still up but he does not respond to email.

Atmasphere

That is a pity your distributor is no longer around - unfortunately not surprising. Good luck with finding a new importer. Melb, Sydney or brisbane would be better for all audiophiles.

You guys in the US and Europe don't know how lucky you have it :-)

yes, so for what i have heard the ART is the best and most musical.

cheers

Dear Atmasphere
Do you support home demos for your audio equipment?
I'd love to listen your top preamp!

Hi George, we do have a demo program. Give us a call for details 651-690-2246

How many of you have gone to some of the great concert halls around the USA or the world for that matter! 5th row Boston is full, warm, huge, detailed, airy, extended and crazy dynamic with mind blowing dimensionality...the ref 3 re-creates that effect with commensurate components. Also, how far apart do most of you have your speakers ? These things say alot about how and what you listen for !!
