Mapletree Preamp experiences?

Hi All,
I am just about to pull the trigger and order a Mapletree Line 2A SE preamp. I am looking for that good old warm, 3-dimensional, "the performers are actually in my listening room" tube magic (to be used with a solid state power amplifier). Any positive or negative comments from all you Mapletree preamp owners out there?
Many thanks!

I bought the 4A SE ultra with all the upgrades the good doctor had to order (about 6 months ago). I must say it’s a sleeper that can be upgraded to run with the big boys. I highly recommend the Revelation Audio umbilical cord as a worthwhile upgrade (although the guys at Revelation can be a bit slow to respond). Also try some NOS stock tubes (I forget which ones but I can look it up for you if need be… I picked them up after reading a recommendation from another MAD owner)

My Ultra 4A SE feeds into a solid state McIntosh amp (MC402) driving Dynaudio Special 25’s. It’s a very sweet setup.

The MapleTree preamps are an excellent value for the money.

Good luck
Tony
