    Phil, maybe you could pop down the M40 and visit GT for a listen. The pre is brand new, so I doubt anyone on a forum has heard it.

    thanks charlie , good idea . one day perhaps but i do prefer trying them in my system as i am extremely sensitive to sound .i.e too bass heavy and too bright painful on the old ears . take a fair bit to beat the freya which is forensically transparent , especially in passive mode but does have a lightness and delicacy and realism

    I have to say that after 45 years in this hobby I bought a Tron Seven and introduced it to my system.

    It was a most enlightening introduction and probably ranks amongst the most significant upgrades I have ever made.

    Sound wise, the TRON pre and power amps are up with the very best - they are often rated highly at RMAF and the Munich High End shows. This year the baby TRON Convergence phono stage and the TRON Atlantic 300B integrated were amongst the sounds of the show at RMAF.

    I wasn’t altogether impressed by the Convergence phono preamp that came round to mine but then again it was at against an Aurorasound Vida at the time and there is a massive price disparity.

    I did enjoy the Tron Seven preamp I heard. That’s something I’d like to try in my setup at some stage.
