electrocompaniet aw 100 sound quality?

I have an electro 4R. Currently it's all Mit with termination boxes, not the 350 or 750. If I remember correctly you also use a Marchand crossover, so do I. I am interested in trying the Alpha. I tried Audioquest with another pre I have and wasn't impressed. One dealer I know has talked me out of power cords twice. I do have dedicated lines and live in the outer suburbs.

In regards to the sound of the pre it sounds somewhere between what I'd call tubey and definitely not solid state. I keep feeling that it has more to give. I heard it in comparison to the Classe Cap 50 and they sound more alike than not. However, there definitely are differences. At first I thought the $R was missing leading edge transients. Then ater hearing the CD on other systems I realized it wasn't there. SOOO!!!

I'll check out the electro discussion. Thanks.

Doug, would you be so kind to post the website for electro as the connection listed in the manufactuers list does not work.

Doug, iv'e been offered a good deal on some electro 180 monoblocks and if my aw100dmb sells,i am going for it.Can you say "broke" i will be saying it for months if this deal happens.I priced the aw100 to sell,now i just have to hope no one else buys the mono blocks first.If they do i will be taking the aw100dmb off the market as i am hooked on the electro sound.

ears, i've learned this lesson the hard way - if there's any way ewe can swing it, get the 180 mono's now, & then worry about selling the aw100. if ya lose the deal, yule be bummed. the aw100 will sell; until it does, yule be eatin' macaroni & cheese... ;~)
