Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Not to go overboard after only 2 days of operation, but the Bent TAP (transformer-attenuator [passive] pre-amp) is a pip in my system.  It is as "neutral" as anything I am familiar with, compared to by-pass (with CD).  I love having a useable remote [for the first time]!  The TAP "passes" bass very well, indeed, and it allows the pitch, timbre, weight and scale of well-recorded music full play, along with excellent "timing", from an orchestra ramping up to a mere gesture of a glissando.  It not only handles all frequencies and volume settings in my system but it "allows the personality and intent" of performers to come through (how's that for a reach?).  Basically there is not much to say because I feel very strongly that I am "listening through" the TAP to everything else in the system.

The Bent drives just 6 feet of IC to the ML2s in my system, but it does so without a hitch.  It does have an automatic, "inaudible" 6 dB gain once "unity gain" is selected/arrived at, although I will not need/use this (transformered) boost in my present system.

It has all kinds of nice features, including a mute, balance, phase option, and ground configuration options.

This unit is ABSOLUTELY SILENT in my system.
