I had a similar problem when I was seeking to upgrade my Carmel 1s to Kipod passives which are rare and hard to find. I seriously considered changing to Magico but resisted, stayed patient and kept looking.It took me nearly two years but I then found a pair through Shark hifi in Kansas and after doing the requisite due diligence I bought them and had them shipped over to the UK. I am delighted with them and really glad I persevered so my advice is to keep looking for the Vitus pre. One will turn up and when it does be prepared to compromise on price and location. I am sure it will be worth it.
right , i can wait to find Vitus Pre
or to sell my Vitus Amp
and get different Amp and Pre
Focal owners told me they get good result with AVM MA.8 , Soulution 530 integrated or 501 or 711 , Constellation Centaur
other i can consider?
LL21 , gave me many great advises
he think that it's not so good to mix brands of cables
my cables:
acoustic zen silver reference ii XLR interconnect from the DAC to the PRE
Cardas Clear speaker cable
wireworld platinum USB cable
Amps to Pre , Tara Labs The 0.8 XLR
power cords for the amps Purist Canorus
and he recommend on Transparent XL
what brands/models people usually using with Focal Utopia?
