Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?

I'll bet you sell AA sounds real.

What say you?

I do sell Audio Aero!!!!! Probably better than most of the preamps he is looking at. Plus he upgrades his CD Player as well. Is that a problem for you??????

Hi Barayni

Good question. I have series 1 ART.
I would suggest if you have never heard the prem 16/17 or ART one would be very happy with the ACT2/CT5.
For me the prem16/ART series has a more organic musical presentation.
the ACT2 does the hifi aspects of music better like tight bass, more extended treble.
But the ART to my ears is just more natural sounding and lets the natural tonal qualities of instruments become easier to hear. Soundstage is just huge with the ART as well. A Bad recording will still sound bad, however the ART seems to make it easier to listen to, without making everything slow and veiled.
I would luv to hear the ART3, however I may end up preferring the original - who knows thou.

>>Is that a problem for you??????<<

When you fail to disclose your affiliation with AA, it is a problem for everyone reading this thread.

Got it?

Regarding your assertion that the AA linestage is better than the others under consideration you appear to have much to learn as it pales in comparison to all of them.

Got it?

Downunder,
Thanks for the comparison. Let me ask you if you have compared the ARC REF 3 to the ART. I was wondering if you have heard any of the Supratek preamps since you are Downunder? Thanks Bob
