Does anyone use a Bel Canto Pre2 P ?

I'm considering getting one, but checking Virtual Systems, they are pretty much non-existent. Can anyone who has or had one please provide feedback?

I'm in the hunt for a new pre- and power amps to replace my 20 year old Apt Holman pre and Adcom 555. For now they will be driving Infinity 8 Kappas, circa 1988. My new source is an Underwood modified Music Hall cd25.2. I listen to modern and standard jazz, prog and southern rock, some classical.

Thanks,
MikeB.

It's a very nice sounding preamp with some very useful features. It's clean/lean/clear sounding as opposed to warm/harmonically rich.

I recommend that you talk to Wally at Underwood. He has several to recommend and I have talked with him about them. He can sell you Bel Canto as well as Monolithic and others. He has been great to deal with.

Thanks, I have spoken with him. He can set me up with a very good deal on the Pre2P and a pair of Ref1000's, but I'm wondering if that combo will be too "accurate", that is dry and clinical. Perhaps if so, it could be dialed out with cable selection?? My head is swirling enuf choosing electronics without also thinking about all the cable possibilities!
