Wyred 4 Sound - New Aura preamp? Anyone know anything? No response from the company ...

I found out that it’s expected mid next year. Final details are being worked out with an improvement over the existing STP-SE.

Can’t wait. 

Aura preamp ($2,999) and Aura 1200M monos ($3,998 pair) reported here:

And here are also PDFs describing them here:

Aura preamp looks like an upgraded STP-SE, and the monos likely based on Icepower 1200AS modules with the ICEedge tech.

Actually, it looks like the preamp pricing for the standard version will start at $3999. There’s a possibility of an upgraded version with pricing to be determined after introduction.

Yes, the STP-SE Stage 2 costs $3,749 so the new one should be more expensive. 

I have the STP-SE Stage 2 and it is absolutely fantastic. Compared to the original STP-SE that I had, the Stage 2 is more alive, open, has a bigger sound stage and is just very natural. 

I can’t imagine what the Aura might be like if it’s better. That could be a difficult task because my Stage 2 is awesome.
