Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp

kalali,

I agree with you I prefer the one man operations also.

Aric answered my email lightning fast and said he could custom build me a 2a3 set starting at $1300.00, I will have to figure out exactly what I want and get back with him.

That's great Kenny. What speakers will you be using with the 2a3 SET amp? Your DIs? Aric's phono preamp looks great too.

kalali,

I bought from audiogon the consonance cyber30 which is a 2a3 Intergrated headphone and speaker amp and I have found that I really like the sound,It's been quite a few yrs that I have had a 2a3 amp.
I'm using the cyber with my DI's and also using my MZ2S preamp to drive it,I have found that is more than enough pwr for 90% of the music I listen to,I did rewire the cyber and I took the volume control and headphone switch out of the signal path and I'm using all Nos tubes.

I will have to wire volume control back in because ultimately I bought the cyber for my granddaughter and will be a Christmas present for her along with some decent headphones.

Here is a link to a review of a couple of Aric's products.
