Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage

I'm currently running a Pas Labs XA30.8 and a Modwright Marantz CD/SACD player. More back story,  a friend let me borrow a Prima Luna EVO 400 preamp. Overall very impressed, a more full bodied sound but with plenty of detail and resolution. A few issues were the volume control and a bass that sounded a bit loose at times. None of these a deal breaker but I would like to explore options. A friend recommended Aric Audio and the Super 6SN7 caught my eye. I really do appreciate the input.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to do a follow up on this thread. I pulled the trigger on a Super 6SN7 linestage after consulting with Aric. My particular unit has an upgraded power supply and volume control from the MotherLoad II. I wanted to get as much of the performance of the MLII as I could in a single chassis. 

Dealing with Aric was first class experiencel. Very reponsive to emails and kept me updated on the build progress. From start to end the entire process took less than three weeks. Build quality is top notch and all switches and dials have a heavy and expensive feel to them.

How does it sound? In a word, wonderful. Smooth, detailed with excellent dynamics. Its walks the fine line between macro/micro details without sounding overly analyitical or opaque. This is a very  engaging preamp and I'm thrilled at the results I'm getting . I'll have a more complete review shortly which I'll post in the Members Review section,

I want to thank everyone who posted on this thread for their advice and opinions. Its much appreciated. Special thanks to Audigoon member Tvad who pushed me out of my comfort zone on this and of course Aric for making this whole thing possible.
