Nice!

I'm running my Bryston 28BSST2's on my LS50 and RP-160M's. Amazing!

Richard Becker of Aum Acoustics does amazing work. Yes, I do love mine too. Works perfectly and sounds even better, really has no sound of its own.

Exclusive club membership! Mine works great with a vintage Leak 20 tube amp as well…despite warnings to the contrary.
 
Yea, they only build the SE unit now. They do actually offer two additional upgrades. These upgrades can also be added later.

That is funny, we must have been typing that at the same time :)....
 
Randy (or Jack),

Have you guys thought about trying this with the Job or other amps?

I am not quite sure what this is.... :) it sounds a lot like a passive pre-amp.... sort of.... please explain its real purpose.... I am sure it is in their right up somewhere but I got lost in all the gobbly gook :D...

The W4S pre-amp is a passive/active hybrid... keeps passive as long as it can but will kick to active when needed.

Or is it more like one of these guys:

The iTube has 0db or 6dB of gain and can be used as a buffer or single source preamp with volume control.
 
Let me know what you think of it. I am looking forward to listening to the W4S. Sounds like a very high quality volume control. The reviews I have read compare against extrememly high end pre-amps, a couple directly pitting it against Esoterics.
 
I'm waiting for a shipping update. Could be several weeks to six weeks to arrive. Oh well.
 
So why do you need another pre-amp? :D If you are looking to clean up the digital "harshness".... hmmm W4S has a couple very impressive items :)...

I would love to hear what you think when you get it... because their descriptions really do seem to be entering the "snake oil" territories :D....
