I was listening a while ago with my preamp and I tried playing disco-swing music. This is the first time I heard it in a different manner. It has more detail, clear,and it sounded very natural. It is like my first time to really appreciate my disco CD's. I would say that a good sounding gear would really make you enjoy music. I would really recommend this product. Another thing is that Im only on my 10th hour of usage.

Thanks but no pwede.

yes, mullard 12au7s are very musical tubes!

levi, there are dozens of options...baka mahilo ka sa tuwa dahil some tubes will provide an even smoother presentation. my suggestion though is break-in the preamp, enjoy the current tube which is excellent sounding, and do tube rolling later on...it's like having one dozen different preamps by just tube rolling.

with you being our first customer, you will get a pair of vintage 12au7s from my personal collection sometime december as a christmas gift

for now, enjoy the music...and did you notice, suddenly your CDs are sounding much more enjoyable...

things get even better....and more sleepless nights!

superman just dropped by to get his unit 11:15pm and listened awhile to his preamp hooked to a 3wpc amp driving my voigts...i've never heard so much slam and dynamics coming from my 2a3 amp....awesome !

i agree...the dynamics when i listened to V_D's voights and 2A3...wow...grabe yung voights ha! 'twas such a wonderful experience...but most of all, i was impressed at the WS tube preamp...the looks, the detail...very musical...A REAL WINNER...and PROUDLY FILIPINO MADE!...guys, this is really a must have!

congrats john! pwede ba connect yung pre-amp outputs ng t752 into the ws pre-amp? para pati yung front channels ng dd/dts eh meron "tubey" quality?

Quote from: john5479 on Nov 21, 2003 at 09:35 PM

For guys curious if the WS preamp can work with a receiver with an amp in, yes it does! Just got mine today and tested the preamp by connecting it to the main in of my nadt752. I can go louder with the preamp hooked in as at 12 o' clock position it goes real loud...and cleaner, seems like the amp is hindered if you use the receivers volume control. and the preamp is just barely broken in

Superman · « **Reply #74 on:** Nov 22, 2003 at 12:19 PM »

guys,

here's the review/comments of camotecue from pinoydiophiles:

My TB 2A3 SET amp got louder with the ws preamp. I used to push the volume control of this power amp to the limits ( I temporarily installed an alps potentiometer w/c I later removed in favor of the ws pre-amp). Now with the pre-amp, I just set the level from 11 to 12 o' clock to get to the desired volume im accustomed to. My audio room (which measures 3 x 4m and not enclosed) opens up to the stairwell leading to the ground floor and also to the attic. You wont believe this pre-amp and power amp puts out just 3 watts because it fills the whole house with music. ( Im using a voigt speaker adopted from the design of jon agner w/c I believe is adopted also from herbert jeschke's design). As to the sound, this preamp-amp combi sounds awesome -at least with the type of music I listen to. The warmth and detail is there especially when you listen to trumpet/sax and guitar; not to mention female voices. These equipment will stay long for me. A million thanks to the people involved in this project. Superb tube sound at a friendly price. Special thanks to vintage dog, arnoldc, and mickey kasi sila kinukulit ko palagi. To those who are still hesitating to buy the pre-amp and the TB 2A3 SET amp, buy now before the price goes up![/i]

hey guys, nakaka intrigue etong pre-amp na eto. Can it improve my NAD c320 bee integrated amp if I install it? The NAD is equipped with main in/out rca's with jumpers.

Digities · « **Reply #76 on:** Nov 22, 2003 at 01:40 PM »

well it should. according to what everybody said there should be an improvement in sound quality. so don't hesitate ! try it out then get it !

HEY GUYS!

we had a great listening session last night...thanks for those who attended and "enjoyed" the session...for the details, i'll leave to to iceman90a to post everything here (including the pics, of course)...but just a preview, we used the preamp in the ff:

1) WS tube preamp paired with the JE Labs SRPP 2A3 SET tube amp

2) Akyat's Kenwood Power amp (130w/channel)

3) Iceman's Fase Integrated Amp

all EXCELLENT results...plus one very good news...i think there is a "alternative solution" for the WS preamp to work with receivers like HK2550 and Marantz SR4300...again, iceman will do the explaning, hehehehe!

overall, the preamp ROCKS!...really a best buy...guys, just a reminder...the limited offer of Php8,250.00 will be applicable only to the next available 15 units...afterwards, price will increase to US$200.00...ORDER NA!

more reviews to follow c/o iceman90a, akyatbundok, james16, hans adriane and the rest of the guys...

thanks!

HI GUYS!

i've decided to re-post this here (thanks to iceman and the rest of the guys!)...thanks!

last night - a group fo us guys interested in the Wiredstate pre-amp had a listening session to help us decide on whether or not we would like the pre-amp in our system...

one of the members here - Superman (thanks bro!) was kind enough to invite anyone interested (and willing to travel to alabang) for an audition with his 2a3 amp.

as most of us were solid state users (amps & receivers) we thought it prudent to brinag along an integrated amp and a power amp to see if the synergy will be the same

first we listened to Superman's set-up (we only played 1 song for all combinations, i'll post details later) using S2 speakers ...

in my opinion the wiredstate pre-amp and amp are soul mates

next we listened using my Fase integrated amp and audience 52's (no pre-amp in the system yet)

which of the 2 systems were better? well to use a previous scientific method started by akyat, hans & james16... i would say its like comparing Francine Prieto (tisay na makinis) with Juliana Palermo (morena beauty)

depende sa type mo - the others will expound on the differences and similarities (i dont want to comment as i might be biased)

next we ran the same track, this time with the pre-amp hooked up...

aaahhhh... everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and disappointment at the same time...

a) OK!!!!!!! Tunog Tubo! (and all the good things that implies)

b) PATAY!!!! Gastos na naman (kailangan ko nito...)

next we tried it with akyat's kenwood power amp

result? let's just say you won't be able to wrest this amp from akyat even at 5 times the purchase value

system used:

cd player - Musical Fidelity E624
IC - eichmann & DIY braided silver w/ bullet plugs
speaker wires - IXOS 6007 (for the fase)
QED silver anniv (Kenwood)
Analysis oval (S2)
track - feels so good by chuck mangione

judges:

L-R (standing) - superdad, superman, j_albert, akyatbundok, hans , james16, nels76
seated - yukon, julsp168

naka alis agad si jvm eh

second shot of judges

the new guy in the middle is symon

another shot of francine & juliana:

i just realized - wala pa tayong pangalan sa combination... help me out guys!
