Dear all,
Just purchased an Audiopax Model 5 pre-amp from Nick at the Emporium. The feedback from my first couple of weeks listening is that it is absolulutely wonderful. The pre-amp was designed in Brazil by the late Eduardo de Lima. Many users of the pre-amp have described it as having a magical effect and I can now see why : revealing all nuances, dynamics, intentions and emotions of the music and musicians, something very oftern only found in live performances. It appears to sync really well with my Croft Series 3 OTL power amp and my QUAD 57 speakers. The absolute lack of feedback, and unique MOSFET topology, where this component's characteristics work very close to that of valves gives the beauty of a valve amp with the drive and energy of a solid state amp - the best of both worlds. If you ever get the chance to hear one of these amps do, I am so pleased with my purchase. I never thought I would ever be able to afford such a hi-end piece of gear. No wonder that the Model 5 has accumulated such an impressive number of excellent reviews, awards and "Best of the Show" in the world's top audio shows. Refinement and innovation raise this preamplifier to the absolute reference category in my estimation.
