Frank, Another fantastic review. Congratulations.
I think I'm going to have to upgrade or replace my Avastar for 2014!

Congratulation Frank.  I was glad to see Jeff Dorgay chiming in that the sound stage projected by your preamp was not reduced as Jerold O'Brien reported.

This may have to be my next upgrade!

Tough to find - p.88 but nonetheless, nice review.

Likewise, Congrats, Frank !

PS- I didnt think they spent nearly enough acreage on the new phono stage (IMHO). It's awesome !

Encouraging review.  Of course the really important review will take place in my house
when the FV CF and FV 600R arrive.  Thank you Tone Audio for pouring salt into my
waiting wounds  8).  My beautiful HT3s have been delivering D power ok sound which
begs the wish for AVA tubes Salk synergy.

Gad, Did you post about your AVA pre/power combo on your HT3s?
