Early Impressions of the Music First Classic "Preamplifier" V2

[Andre Marc]

Hi guys:

I have a week with the passive Music First Classic "Preamp" V2.
http://www.mfaudio.co.uk/classic.htm

It is folly to call it a "preamp" because there no active gain stage.

Early impressions are that it is a game changer for MY system specifically.
The increase in transparency, musical flow, and bass articulation is simply
unparalleled in my experience, with my system.

The build quality and attention to detail is off the charts.

More to come. This could be the first component swap I will have done in 5 years if I decide
to purchase it. Going passive has been on my mind for about a year now.

DISCLAIMER: This passive linestage has perfect synergy for my system and needs, I am NOT
making a claim that passive linestages are "better" than active.

Just wait till you hear a passive with no transformers that still scales volume and doesn't thin out.

Hi Brian:

Do you have any in mind? Transformer based solutions do offer a lot of advantages.
