Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?

Canary tube preamps appear to offer good build quality for the money, especially on the second hand market. It is therefore surprising there isn’t much info on this brand throughout the web — not many user or “pro” reviews. What’s the deal? Do they not perform well?

I had a C1800 Pre and it was very good.

Canary makes fine sounding tube preamps. I own their 4 box monoblock preamp.

That's a beauty. It makes me drool. I have the entry level model and it sounds better than any other pre I've owned. I can only imagine how good it is.

If they are any bit as good as their amps, you can't go wrong. I have the M 350 Mono blocks hooked to  a Cary slp 98 p and the combo is excellent.
