Aries Cerat Impera ll Reference vs Incito S

No probs, glad you found a good solution! Organic search led me to your post, so perhaps others may benefit from my upcoming conclusions

Thank you for a very informative review of the Incito S and Impera 2 Ref. It really sounds like the Incito 2 is outstanding in its own way but the Impera just takes it up a notch. You said this was the best Preamp that you have ever heard. What other Preamps have you heard that would make you make this statement.

Glad you like the review. Well, not THE best preamp perhaps, but the best tube preamp. For an overview of the preamps I've used, please see the HFA review section.

Interesting. I have Grand Reference 300B mono amps with a Pacific DAC soon to be the horizon. Given I am all-tube components right now, what is the best Pre given my system?

With the world of options, that's not a question that I can answer for you. That said, I would lean toward either the Incito S or the Impera Reference. However, the latter is very heavy and I prefer the more compact shape of the Incito. Beyond that, I would suggest heading to HFA and reading some of the preamp reviews there. If you have any questions, post a comment and I will respond there.
