Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views?

I have rogers ruby 211 mono blocks with 1942 rca radiotron tubes , coupled with his STD preamp , very quiet , liquid , very very transparent , the preamp is a steal at that price , I had the hovland 200 4 years ago , the ruby preamp in a league of it's own , no comparison , I heard the veloce preamp , I thing the ruby has more detail and more natural sounding ,

Neal the opal is an outstanding preamp, but the ruby STD is so good in dynamics , transparency , and so very very musical I sold my mbl 6010 and bought the ruby from Roger , it's so far ahead of the rest of the PAC it's scary

Hovland is very mechanical sounding ,compared to the mbl, or wyetech ruby , these 2 preamps are very very liquid ,transparent with enormous soundstage, I had the hovland 200 for 6 months but could only listen to it for 1/2 at a time then fatigue sat I'n ,the ruby and mbl only want you to rediscover more vinyl or cd's

If you think the ruby preamp is impressive,

Wait till hp does review, or go on line for a look at the new ruby 300B 36 watts rms

Or

Wyetech ruby 211 They both look the same ,36 watts rms

The 300b outstanding. Midrange ,the 211 very very fast with punch gosebumps I own the 211 ,friend bought 300b for his sonus faber amati futura

Neal the opal is good ,but can't match the lightening fast transients of the ruby STD,soundstage bigger , plus it's very very quiet , I had the Mbl 5011 which is quite a bit better than the opal , and the ruby is far better in lower extension , soundstage , transient response than the mbl 5011, the ruby is even quieter

The hov 200 is a great preamp, but in 2013 wyetech 's Roger Hebert has put together something here that is very very special ,in his ruby series line, amps, preamp ,phono stage. The superior detail ,liquidness of the music will keep you up for hours rediscovering your music.I'm a proud owner of the ruby 211 set monoblocks with RCA radiotron vt-4c tubes, 36 watts rms , along with the ruby STD preamp, this combination is truly spectacular in sound and build quality , also the design and look of the ruby set monoblocks and preamp absolutely stunning , great design work by Roger ,thanks Roger a designer with vision

Opal is good , doesn't have the soudstage , or quietness of the mbl , plus the weight in bottom end

Everything you note in these areas the STD is far superior , it's like going from a somewhat good preamp ,to one where the sound is stunning, the STD is very very very quiet , thus enabling tons of micro detail,soundstage is vast ,there is a lot more weight in the bottom ,which all hovland products seem to be lacking compared to the ruby , even the hovland radia which a friend bought has little to no bottom extension, vie been in audio since 1970 ,a lot of products come and go, very very few in the league of the wyetech ruby line
