Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre


Has anyone compared the two? I'm thinking of building a fully balanced Bent Autoformer unit.

If you have compared the two, what do you think?

Neither was I until I worked at it. It just takes time, patience, lots of research, and some money to get good parts. Oh...and a patient wife...
An SFL2 is a Sonic Frontiers tube preamp.

When properly utilized in a passive friendly system, TVC and autoformer linestages usually best any active preamp regardless of technology.

I have owned many well regarded tube preamps and my Sonic Euphoria PLC has laid them to waste every time.

Amazing to me that one auto former line stage simply kills all other actives period. Wow, how have you found the time to listen to every single preamp made since the beginning of time in all the near infinite number of systems friendly to such a device. You have lots of time on your hands.

In addition, it seems your preference for sound is the standard. Most impressive!
