Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.

Muralman,
Yes you do get a wealth of information including "posting since" but it does NOT provide the original membership date which is the issue here.

That's what you're not understanding when Whimby challenged you with "just joined? check your dates......"

Thank you.

Whimby, help me out. There are exactly two Fire preamps in existence. I have
been told there are more on the way soon. I have one of the two on loan.
Other than the builder, I am the only one to have heard this particular
preamp. There is one other loaner. It has traveled to only a select few trusted
listeners known by the builder, one being Sogood51. They have all checked in
with predictable glowing reports. How did you come by that one preamp?

The silence is deafening.

Muralman,

I was also fortunate enough to demo one of the very rare "Fire" preamp prototypes early last year. It was partnered with my already beloved S H2O amplifier. I thought it was everything you describe and more. There are many of us silent listeners out here that agree entirely with everything you say. I just thought you might appreciate knowing.

Jees Lloyd, I saw that posted on my active threads list, and couldn't remember what it was it's been so long. I can almost cry getting affirmation from you.

You are right, even more than I can say. I put some short ribbon speaker connectors in I made, and the amp, plus preamp responded gratefully. Egads, this gets more real. Write me if you are interested. I spent only 18 bucks making them.

BTW, get some Sonicap Platinum bypass caps in your H2O. If your present rig does not show you why, wait until you get the Fire. I hear Henry is making some now.
