The Motherlode delivers! I can say with confidence that a preamp cull is in your future, as you will not want to take it out of rotation.
Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier
The Stereo Times review on the AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier just went live on the website this morning. I have received numerous inquires regarding this review after posting a thread regarding how superlative Aric’s new reference preamplifier in it’s performance across all sonic parameters. The ML MKII will compete with any line-stage, regardless of price, and I purchased it to use it in my different systems. For the details, regarding my conclusions, take a look at the review. I also put it on the Stereo Times list for "2020 Most recommended components of the year".

I think you absolutely love it @jaymark. |
@rocray I hope that I love it! @laaudionut I have been listening to my system and it sounds great. But like a true audiophile or audiophool, I am chasing even better sonics. Go figure. |
@jaymark : Which caps are being offered for the upgrade? Did you ask about transformer upgrades as well? Thanks. Jeff |
@yoby We agreed to build this one as the Motherlode XL (with the Clarity TC600 filter caps and Takman resistors), but simply are omitting the fully balanced I/Os as they are not needed for his system. The power transformer is a low DCR toroidal, rated for over 4Xs the preamp’s current draw, I don’t offer an upgrade for the power transformer. Best regards, Aric |
