[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 30099, member: 122"] Hmmmm, very cool review Abe! I was hoping for some pictures of the setup though ;) I must say, having tested my brother's valve pre, that there are some pro's and cons to using a design without feedback (as is the case with the Decware pre). I also found that the pre was most linear at a certain input level (can't remember off hand) as verified by sinewave testing. Unfortunately, in this case, music is too dynamic to keep the pre in the linear region so that may be the reason for the bass anomolies. But, I guess, it's a trade off between other nice charactaristics of the valve pre... [/QUOTE]
