Thank you, Jason, for your complementary comments and nice photo of our Music First Audio display at T.H.E. Newport Show. Those violins you heard, in our room, consistently caused our listeners' jaws to drop, including yours as I remember.
We did indeed achieve a very smooth sound, as a result of the AMR CD player, Denon 103D, and Otari deck as sources... plus the Audionote speakers and Music Reference RM-10 amp, all working well together in this regard. But, in all fairness, the Baby Reference preamp did its job to transparently convey the characters of these components, without adding coloration of its own. In every system which we display our preamp, we don't hear any character (of its own) that it is adding, but rather that it lets the other components convey theirs'.
We offer free in-home demo, so that audiophiles can hear for themselves what their system can sound like with optimum preamp compatibility and neutrality. Our preamp does not impose its own output impedance upon the amplifier. Rather, it matches the source's output impedance when at full volume, and only lower than that as volume is attenuated. No other active or passive technology can claim this.
