Primare Pre30 vs. the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Preamp

Blindjim, the internal board work in the Pre30 and the STP-SE is remarkable. The Wyred 4 sound STP-SE has a power supply five times larger, 164K microfarads, than the Primare. The price is about the same especially when you
consider the fact the STP-SE is sold factory direct. These
two Preamps have drawn a lot of attention in recent years
in the audio press and blogs.

Dellafago. If your after warmth and detail, try an older
used Spectral DMC-10 or DMC-12. They are warm and very smooth, like floating over a placid lagoon. I heard the 10
back in '92 at a friends home and was captivated. On the reserve side, but rich and full. I prefer the 10 since it was the last piece by Demian Martin before Keith Johnson
took over the designs. Martin went for a more classic analog sound.
