Great looking gear! Look forward to hearing it or some of it at RMAF.

Hi ILA, I was referring only to the 2100 series, not to the 3000 series. Regarding the 2110 preamp, I would not expect the increase in performance to be as great as from the 2050 to 3050 mono blocks. The 3050 mono's are from a different series and entirely different price point. However the difference should be substantial based on feedback i've received from Boulder.

In regard to a future 3000 series preamp, I asked Rich about this and his response was "It's hard to imagine how much further we could take the new 2110 preamp to make it a 3000 Series piece". Maybe one day?

HAHAHA, I can also remember Rich saying (years ago during an open house at an audio store back in Austin) that there would never be a 3000 Series as they thought they could never improve on the existing 2000 Series! Boulder is very good at keeping quiet about what they do (of which I approve and support 100%) and I will continue to bet that they WILL find a way to improve upon what they have accomplished with the 2110. In 2014?? early 2015??

I cannot imagine that Boulder would someday not offer a complete 3000 Series for their ultra high end customers (3010, 3020,3008, etc)...

Either way, these must be very exciting days at Boulder: all this new wonderful gear, a new factory under construction in Louisville, a full order book with a decent wait list (!!!!) for 3050/3060's.....and, I am beyond excited to hear the new gear in Denver this year at RMAF!!

Cheers,

I am fortunate that the 2000 Series Boulder gear is so darn expensive. Based on what I heard in the past plus with the new design it is the only gear that I would even consider as an alternative to my D'Agostino.

Jim.......Better hold off on the D'Agostino preamp.

I am very happy with my amps and I will continue to save for Dan's pre-amp.

The one issue I have with the Boulder gear is its size. This is the same reason I didn't go for MBL gear. Both companies products would take up too much space in my 2-channel room.

You are correct. The pre-amp does not appear to be overly large at all. Now if someone was to add the phono stage now space is starting to accumulate. The 2050's are about 27 inches deep and that does not include the space required for any stiff connectors.
