| Mystere CA 21 Preamp Any comparisons between this and the less-expensive preamp in the Mystere line? They look to be very similar to me. | |
| Doge 8 or YS A2 or Jungson J2? Follow up to my review above: I am now using the Doge 8 in a system that feeds a Wyred-4-Sound ST-1000 and Magnepan speakers. It's a great preamp. | |
| pacific valve&electric I posted a review of the Doge 8 on another thread here, and I have bought one other item from them. Bottom line: The Doge is a great preamp and is highly recommended. Generally Pacific Valve is good to deal with; you should have no problems. | |

| Cary 120s I finally have my 120S mated with a nice preamp (Doge 8) and as promised, I wanted to give some quick initial impressions. 1. Plenty of power and current to drive my Maggies (in fact, could be an ideal tube amp for MMGs or 1.6s).2. The triode and ... | |
| Cary 120s For what it's worth: I bought one of the used 120S models here on Audiogon. I have not had much chance to experiment with the sound (I'm between preamps) but I have used it enough (with a loaner preamp) to speak to the heat issue. As tube amps go,... |
