Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.

the room is not ready yet. I'll let you use the transport once I burn-in the umbilical from R.A.L. The Kids are okay...I guess. The dog will be leaving soon.

I had the Fire Preamp in my system for a few days. It is big, heavy, and runs hot. I don't know what is inside, but the sound screams MOSFETs. If you like second order harmonics that suggest a "tube" sound, then you will probably like it.

I dislike the veiled and hazey sounded created by MOSFETs in general. This preamp wasn't to my personal liking.

Henry is a wonderful person and the build quality of his equipment is top-notch. Our audio tastes and expectations are just different.

Whimby, welcome to Audiogon. I see you just joined. I have to admit I am scratching my head about just what you are saying. A lot of people have heard my system, some involved in the music business. I have yet to hear any opinion that mirrors yours.

Talking about reading between the lines..... Why would someone join Audiogon just to comment on one component. Seems weird to me.

Tvad is right. It is all in the implementation. Henry got it right.
