Just taking the opportunity to try. Looking (and sounding) great in my system…

Wow! How does it compare with the 3000Mk2? A legendary preamp in its own right. Would be most intrigued if/when you try the full Karan Master preamp/amp setup in comparison with your (also legendary) Lamm 1.2 Ref monos.

Will do a few more swaps between them and report back in a week or two. As I indicated here (https://www.whatsbestforum.com/thre...y-zanden-3000-preamp.10426/page-3#post-789545), first impressions of LINEa were WOW! Everything was so much better but then I replaced tubes in Zanden 3000Mk2 and the story changed.

Have you also tried/ heard the Karan power amps ?

 

[Marcus]

Yes, I have heard also new Karan Master Collection POWERa mono flagship power amps in two systems I know very well. Below is one of them…If I would have to choose the best product Karan ever made, that would be POWERa mono amps.

this is some tough banter with 30 year old technology, I had a good laugh at the price
