Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.

Hey Tabl10s, let me say first your children are beautiful. Have you got your system to working condition?

Can I bribe you with eggnog and Dambuie to come down for a new listen? I got my Lambda fixed. The disc is now centered, and focus is way sharper. I also have the preamp Sogood51 has been praising. You heard an early prototype. I hope you like Christmas music.

Boa2 is right. This does not sound like tubes. Like Tvad says about tube amps, the H2O will sound anyway you set it up to sound. My sound like the Audio Note DAC I am using. It is on the warm side. I do think of bronze.

As a point of correction, the reviewer was using silver and bronze to evoke music characteristics, not to award Olympic medals.

Sajran's review was more similar to what I am listening to, but not.

Muralman1, yeah that's how the review read, I suspect more maybe hidden between the lines.

He did say they were "kinda tube like" in a round about way, ie...tube lovers will like them...people who say that usually have not had much tube experience.

That's careless reviewing, IMO.

I agree with Unsound that there is more meaning in what was not written than in what was.

the room is not ready yet. I'll let you use the transport once I burn-in the umbilical from R.A.L. The Kids are okay...I guess. The dog will be leaving soon.

I had the Fire Preamp in my system for a few days. It is big, heavy, and runs hot. I don't know what is inside, but the sound screams MOSFETs. If you like second order harmonics that suggest a "tube" sound, then you will probably like it.

I dislike the veiled and hazey sounded created by MOSFETs in general. This preamp wasn't to my personal liking.

Henry is a wonderful person and the build quality of his equipment is top-notch. Our audio tastes and expectations are just different.
