finally these beautiful pre/power delivered to me and they are playing music for break-in.I will report about sound of Audiopax model 5 & Model 88.
The system : CEC TL0 3.0 Transport Audio Note DAC 5 Special Audiopax model 5 Audiopax Model 88 Audio Note AN-E SPE HE 97.5db Sensitivity (coming soon) now i use Living Voice Obx-rw3 All AN cables and Purist Cables Pure Power 3000+ AC regenerator
Room is 5.3m * 9m
The model 5 pre amplifier is high voltage FET design (pure solidstate without any tube)The model 88 power amplifier 28w single ended 2x KT88 tube .Audiopax use no negative feedback and it is very sensitive to loudspeaker impedance curve.
My first impression is positive but i should wait to pass 500 hours .Audiopax solidstate pre with tube power amplifier does not sound like other tube pre/power and it is a new experience to me. My system is solidstate in transport and tube in dac and again solidstate in pre and tube in power. Very rare combination.
The power amplifier model 88 has a timbre lock setting that help us to have better sound with different loudspeakers. It is not hype and it really works for me.
I will back soon ...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
