Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier
The Stereo Times review on the AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier just went live on the website this morning. I have received numerous inquires regarding this review after posting a thread regarding how superlative Aric’s new reference preamplifier in it’s performance across all sonic parameters. The ML MKII will compete with any line-stage, regardless of price, and I purchased it to use it in my different systems. For the details, regarding my conclusions, take a look at the review. I also put it on the Stereo Times list for "2020 Most recommended components of the year".

@rocray I hope that I love it! @laaudionut I have been listening to my system and it sounds great. But like a true audiophile or audiophool, I am chasing even better sonics. Go figure. |
@jaymark : Which caps are being offered for the upgrade? Did you ask about transformer upgrades as well? Thanks. Jeff |
@yoby We agreed to build this one as the Motherlode XL (with the Clarity TC600 filter caps and Takman resistors), but simply are omitting the fully balanced I/Os as they are not needed for his system. The power transformer is a low DCR toroidal, rated for over 4Xs the preamp’s current draw, I don’t offer an upgrade for the power transformer. Best regards, Aric |
@aricaudio : Have you experimented with the new VCap ODAM caps at all? Thanks for your reply. |
