Audio Experience A2E

Looking for someone that has some history with the Chinese brand Audio Experience, more specifically the A2E. I have a Theta Miles CD transport, a CB3 with superior boards, 2 Krell KMA 160 monoblocks and a pair of Wilson Maxx II's. I'm looking for a warmer sound and thought a nice tube preamp may be just what I need. I realize the preamp mentioned doesn't exactly match the quality of my other components, but I want to ease into the tube thing slowly if at all. I've been told I may want a "Hybrid" preamp to keep up with my krells. I'm also gonna dust off my old Pioneer PL-71 turntable, so I will need a phono stage eventually and off course a new cartridge to replace my Shure V-15 series III. I've been told a stylus is no longer available for it(??) Any comments?

Dear Mingles.

Thank you for you using the Symphonies Ver2.

I noted your unit are USED item and buy from someone. This is main point.
I guess the before owner have did some thing at the unit ( eg: he tried change some parts for change the sound).When,he sell it out, he replace back the original parts to unit, but he solder connection is not good.

My product quality control is very good. Because all product are personally made by me and my father. All product have tested two time , the product completed test first time, the product working about 3 days ,I test they second time.

Thank you.

Regarding the YS-Audio Ver2 Per-amp. I am now breaking in this unit. It is matched with a Carver TFM-45, Sherwood NewCastle 980 CD player and a pair of Salk Soundtower speakers. All I've done to the Ver 2 is switch out the tubes, replacing with repro-Mullard. The sound is excellent. The workmanship seems
thorough.
For an inexpensive introduction to tube gear, I recommend the Audio Experience Ver 2 . Good stuff

Since my entry on 6-7-10, the Ver2 has failed. Am trying to get plans from the maker in China, but haven't heard anything back. Makes me wonder about the workmanship.... maybe a re-affirmation of getting what one pays for......A while back, this particular unit appeared on line with the asking price of a grand. That would have been a bad mistake.

Sorry to hear about your preamp. I've heard pro & con. Good luck on getting it going. Most of my gear is solid state. Did get a Belarri VP 130 as a cheap phono stage. I'm not in to vinyl much, so that's good enough for me at this time. Some still think CD's are not as good as vinyl, but I enjoy them more. Of course, I don't have have near the investment in vinyl as some do. I might change my mind if I heard a top notch record player plugged in to a high-end preamp. Guess that's why they make different types & colors of cars...everyone is different.
