That's interesting phantom_av. You never hear a comparison between those 2 brands, and VAC is so well respected.

KW6, I currently own both the Allnic L-1500 and the Don Sachs DS-2 feel free to pm me for my impressions. I enjoy them both and currently have the DS driving a small tube system in my office and the Allnic on my main system i will say this; the Allnic is killer for the price, very well built, metal remote, great channel balance, the output transformers are really something special that provide big soundstage and dead on center image...can be purchased with the L-7000 out put transformers that step things up a bit more best, -JP |
[please excuse my bad English] The Aries Incito S preamplifier is a thing which is not of this world.(I am NOT related to the audio industry). The Incito (plain vanilla) favorably replaced my YBA 1 preamp.Incito: SET tube with zero feed-back, and transistor-like figures; holds the extreme low end. 5 chokes. 79lbs !!).It changed my system. The Incito S (same as the former, with external power supply) let passive preamp afficionados drop their beloved passive fetish. Look at my post.regards. |
Whilst its an old thread what did the OP Decide on? Atma-Sphere MP-1 would be the cream of the crop within a decent budget range the Aries Cerat Higher End Pre-Amps are also fantasic choices. VAC is another good choice i think they are nice soft pleasent sound, if you like that sort of thing. LAMM would be another excellent choice.
I think the Aries Cerat would win out on this if money is no object thou. Their Inverted Triode Pre-Amps perform on levels not easily achieved by normal circuits. They are costly but thats the price you pay for a 120KG pre-amp!!!! |
