After a lot of listening, the improvement in my main rig is very impressive. The phono stage is very solid, and the synergy with my system is over the top. The sound stage is very defined, and the whole presentation is very warm and rich sounding. The increase in weight and body to the presentation is astounding to me. The Acurus L10 and RL11 pre-amps which were designed my the engineer who left to go to Krell were clean and very neutral, but did not have the inner detail and organic body this preamp exhibits through my tri-amped MGIIIa's which tend to show every weakness along the chain.
Very impressed,
Jim
