Had the pleasure of catching up with Kev today here and put his new 520 to work and play and then later at Bill's at Gosford alongside an ARC Ref5se/Ref150 and Shindo at my place. Still think we should have put it up on the stainless fishing sinkers (Stillpoint Ultras) but now you'll never know the joy
Will definitely leave it to Kev to review his new baby more fully but have to say that sterile was the very last word that came to mind, and it was in the company of tubes just about everywhere. Both the Soulution and the ARC brought different things to the music but a very musical arvo it was.
Don't know what has happened but they've definitely put more soul in soulution.
Great preamp absolutely and even tho its early days the new 520 is likely the best solid state preamp I've heard. Beautiful... Congratulations again Kev, got an absolute keeper there. If not then I'll have it. Loved it.
