Insight + SL Pre-Amp Review....
« on: 24 Sep 2010, 06:37 pm »
I ran across this today, dont know if anyone has seen it, but seeing how I bought this Preamp to use with my Salks and Ultravalve, I was wondering how good the headphone circuit was and I ran across this review.

Another nice review to go along with the one for the Insight+ 240 amplifier and the Ultravalve amplifier all done recently.

Note that this review looks at all the functions, line section, phono section, and the built in Vision DAC too.

Regards,

I have had my Ultravalve amp and Insight+ preamp for almost 6 months now.
It has been nothing but wonderful with my SongTowers.

Each and every time I start listening I am amazed at the clarity, the snappy, TAUNT bass that is able to be reproduced and heard that I missed with my AVR.

The imaging is at time 3 dimensional, accurate and just wonderful.

I know that this is the combimation that is touted as a marraige made in heaven. It is!

Its like getting a larger woofer, a new ribbon tweeter without having to upgrade my speakers I like so much.

Patrica Barbers Live presentation of Norwegian Wood is to 'die for'..each time I think I want to upgrade this combination I listen to this and say "Why would I part with this setup?"

I like to build things and have been sorely tempted to buy one of these dynaco look alike kits, but I listen to the Ultravalve and say "why??".... :D

Accuracy, Tonality, Transparency, Musicality, in such a small package.

If you get a chance find this setup and take a listen and be prepared to be amazed!

All the best
