EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic


I want to hear from any 'philes out there who have (or have heard) what some still say was EAD's best sounding prepro. Yeah, it was "only" a 20 bit machine, and it didn't have 5.1 analog bypass, but how would it compare to some of the newer stuff out there, like an Audio Refinement Pre-5 or McCormack MAP-1, or even a Krell HTS2 or 8800Pro? I'd like to get a feel for whether it could still hold up purely as a multichannel preamplifier, and what its sonic characteristics were like.

You interest me, Iam. Can you describe your impressions of the difference between the EADs and the CAL?
You can get cal audio repaired though. Scott Morris in california was a factory repair facitlity. I own the cal and love it but it does lack 5.1 inputs.

Michael, does that mean that the CAL did not (does not) have a 5.1 analog bypass?
sorry so long to post. no the cal does not have a 5.1 analog bypass. it will only do 2 channel analog by-pass
