    Purity Audio Design Preamps Any Experience with them?

    Hi, Josef: I have been using the Purity Ultra GT for 2 years now, and I absolutely love it. I don't post much in any forum, but I would be happy to give you the best detailed accounting I can offer if you like. Send me a private message, and I'll give you my cell number for a chat. Same for...

    What preamp have I not tried?

    Hey, whart. Yep, one and the same. Over the last year, I have completely upgraded my system. I don't do much posting, as I wanted my system to settle down into something that I am very happy with... luckily, that has happened. My weakness in many of these threads is that I have not done many...

    What preamp have I not tried?

    MadFloyd: Reading through these threads, I think I understand what you are looking for. I feel that I have achieved that type of sound with my current system, which uses a Purity Audio Designs preamp and CODA 15.0 amplifier feeding Tyler Woodmere speakers. Using only (2) 12AU7 tubes, the...
