Tidal electronics...

Karelfd, while I greatly appreciate you ardent comments, you cannot imagine what torment they cause me. Were I 30 years younger I would have to find a way to get the Presencio, but at this age, I just cannot afford one. But I think I must seek a Preos.

Thanks again.

Tbg, having heard both Tidal Preos and Presencio I agree with Karel that they are simply the number one and number two preamps in the world. The only preamp I would rate close to Preos is the Sovereign Director. Nothing else..

And let' not forget that you get the best phonostages in the world in the package!

Thanks for the clarification, Geopolitis. Have you heard the Ypsilon preamp or amps? They are the only electronics I have heard on the Contrivas Disceras SEs.

Geopolitis, where is posible to hear Sovereign products in Germany? Thanks

Tbg,

no I haven't heard the Ypsilon gear but other people that I know and trust their opinion are not that impressed. For example an ex-Wavac distributor told me that the Wavac PR-X2 was clearly better preamplifier than the Ypsilon pre when they compared them a couple of years ago.

If you consider the fact that both Tidal Preos and Sovereign Director are miles ahead of the Wavac PR-T1 (I heard the differences between the Preos and the big Wavac with my own ears) then you understand that Ypsilon are not up there with the Tidal amps.
