    ELECTROCOMPANIET preamps - differences?

    well judging from the price than V3.0 will be under the level of EC4.7 (it costs here in serbia 1800E new) PA-1 should be than in a price range of EC4.8. they announced a price for 4.8 of nearly 3.000E here. it would be wonderful to see if anyone had a chance to hear new abrahamsen range, does...

    ELECTROCOMPANIET preamps - differences?

    a few comments from the top towards the end cary 98 and EC4.7 sounds very different. nothing similar there. EC has a bigger soundstage, more detail, more flow, more liquidity, more coherence. last but not least, it sounds more tube like than cary - i would say that it is audibly more rolled off...

    ELECTROCOMPANIET preamps - differences?

    yes but i liked 4.7 (with gain adjuster). i 0dB position it sounded very mellow, musical and with a good flow. it didn't have a particularly good resolution and treble extension - it was just a bit too dark. cary 98 has too high impedance (450ohm) and too much gain (20dB) for ATC active...

    Money - of course, as little as possible:) I am joking. I have my previous preamp to sell, its Cary 98L. One should get around 1,500E for it, at least that was a usual price for a good s/h unit. For 2,000E I can buy X2.5 for example. Of course, used one. I have no money for new esoteria.

    Hm, I found EAR pretty lean sounding. Their smaller amp 834L didn't score well in my system, I tried that. I was surprised that they sounded completely SS-like in my system. Pass Labs is a warmer sounding device than EAR (at least with me). Also not sure about valves. I am a lazy listener, once...

    hi, and thanks for the warm welcome and hospitality. could be that you have seen my posts at audio asylum or at some of the UK's forums. yes i still have kimber PBJs. i am not the biggest fan of them as they don't sound too good with ATCs, but very often I like putting them back in my system...

    ELECTROCOMPANIET preamps - differences?

    Hi guys, Sorry for writing in English - I am a foreigner here and I don't speak Norwegian. I doubt you speak my native language (Serbian) so I thought about trying in English. I am on a quest to find a preamp to match my ATC 20 ASL Pro speakers - it is a pro version of ATC 20A. So far a...
