PS Audio PMG Signature Preamp or BHK Signature Preamp or Bryston BP-19

@stevehardy1 

I have the BHK pre and the 300 mono blocks. I have been wondering about the new PMG preamp as well, in fact I even talked to Paul and all he could do was gush about the PMG. ( Of course)

Anyway, I will be very interested in hearing your thoughts as it breaks in.

All the best.

Thanks Jim. I'll be posting soon.  BTW... to all that have posted here... This has been a surprisingly friendly & refreshing thread. Mucho advice & shared opinons. I was hesitant to even start this thread, as I've encountered a lot of condescending audio snobs here in the past whose main mission seemed to be how much they could belittle mine and other's questions/opinions. It's really been a pleasure conversing with everyone who has responded. Thank you all for, well, just being really cool. 

I received my PMG last Tuesday and gave it a listen straight out of the box.  I'll spare you the adjectives, only to say it was nice and very different than the BHK.  I played a CD in an infinite loop through it for the next 5 days and it improved greatly.  This thing is one fast, punchy preamp and surprisingly, has more dynamics than the BHK.  Listening to Tower of Power live practically blew my hair back.  Imaging increased dramatically as well as space around individual instruments and micro details.  Suffice to say that it is extremely revealing and can make bad recordings sound REALLY bad.  As much as I love the improvement over the BHK, is it a $6600 improvement?  I guess it's the old audio conundrum, where we pay big bucks for incremental improvements.  Disregarding price, though, it's a tremendous sounding preamp.

I wonder if the DMG preamp is designed best to pair up closely with the new PMG Amplifier [coming out soon?].  I guess we will learn a little more after Axpona.  

-we see the new PMG amp in videos as Paul stands in front of it [new amp sitting it directly behind on a table or cart] like some type of subliminal messaging for marketing with a few secret words that come up, and back on topic again, LOL. 

Glad you are happy with the PMG pre, it's a special piece IMO.
