Wavac preamp with Kharma 3.2 and Tenor OTL


I was looking for preamp for some time now. The idea of Wavac came to me because I've heard of its transparency, sweet sound, and silence. Do anyone who heard Wavac pre can give me some ideas. There is one s/h with non Wavac cables. How important theese cables can be for the sound?
Thanks Alex

I had an opportunity to listen to Wavac system on Muenchen HiEnd show just a couple of weeks ago. The speakers were Kharma Exquisite Reeference and as a pre-amp it was used Wavac PR-T1. Power combo was Wavac HE-833 V1.3. Great system, great sound and .. a great price :-)

I didn't have though the opprtunity to compare pre-amps - it was simply that system shown as-is. It sounded great but it is not possible without comparing how one particular component is really sounding or is there any others with better sound. saying all this, I believe though that PRE-T1 is a great pre-amp.

Concerning cables - I strongly suggest you to try several different cables by yourself and to figure out whether they make a difference or not. The opinions are very divided concerning this particular question. One reason is that there are systems where putting different cables does not influence the reproduction of sound. I experienced though other systems where that is happening. I guess it has a lot to do with input and output impedances of the units, perhaps with internal design of some components .... It is a very complex issue. Therefore, I think the best way to proceed is to try by yourself and find out in your target system which cables are sounding the best for you.

And, yes it will take some time, maybe some money too, but ... that is why we like HiFi ... isn't it :-)
