If you read this forum regularly, you may have seen what I posted when I got my large chassis vision phono preamp. At the end of my post, I said that when I get a new preamp, it will be a AVA. That was a little over a year ago.
My vision phono preamp and has been traded in, and my Emotiva USP-1 has been sold.
My T10 RB arrived on St. Patrick's Day. so I have now had it for a week. This is a huge improvement in my system from what I had. Everything Frank said in his description of this unit is true. Not only is it a cleaner window into the music, but a more realistic presentation of the placement of the music and people. It is as though they have come a little more into my listening room, or I am in their room a little bit more. It is definitely more three-dimensional than my previous set up. Picking a acoustic guitar string, or hitting a piano key, are much more dynamic now. Bass now has more texture, and bells seem to be in my listening room.
Any downside? Yes, if this RB sounds this good, what does the AVA top-of-the-line sound like.
