Finally had a chance to meet Dan Wright and hear the Analog Bridge this weekend at the Pacific Audio Fest in Seattle.
Dan switched between 2 types of tubes (not sure which) on the fly and the difference was significant.
Both good, but different.
Had to pass on this as a beta tester last year but now that I’ve experienced it in the flesh, I see this device in my future.

Yes, very much in production now and very well received, in use with Weiss $2895 DAC at PAF. I found that the 6SN7 circuit in the Analog Bridge with 5R4GYS rectifier made a very big difference with the Weiss DAC which is excellent and revealing, but lacked body and tone without the Analog Bridge.

Thanks,

Dan

I realize that actively stopped on this thread a while ago, but curious if anyone has experience with specific passive or active volume controls that you would recommend pairing with an Analog Bridge.  I've been enjoying my Analog Bridge and it seems to offer at least some and often a lot of improvement in overall musical enjoyment with the various combos that I've tried, even running it without a preamp and using digital volume control from my streamer's app (although that's obviously not ideal).  Having said that, I don't have many preamps here and love the idea of trying something that's simple/pure to see if it lets any more magic through.

Thanks in advance for any insights anyone has to share!
