Hi now use Bryston 4B3Welcome to the club. Which amp is associantes with it?
This is a new generation of Bryston. It gets enough power and fine sounding.Very interesting. It seems that this preamp can be associated to a wide range of Amp… Good to know.
Had an audition of this grand and beautiful passive pre amplifier last night. The soundstage is amazingly wide and deep.This special version of Bespoke silver TVC has arrived at the hk dealer last week.
My friend Paul has not picked it up yet so I went for a brief audition yesterday.
Although not burned-in it gave a huge soundstage, much bigger than the demo Bespoke copper version at the dealer showroom.
Great potential!
I guess this may be due to the bigger TVC copper enclosure/cowl of this special version.

The size of the transformers and the mu metal shields of the usual models and Ultimate version are the same.Hi @CKKeung , so if I understand it, the change from mu metal transformer enclosures to bigger gold plated brass enclosures is supposed to make a significant difference in the sound? One has to wonder if it's not the case that the mu metal enclosures are somehow deficient in the first place. When do you expect it back?

So was my previous ARC 40th Anniv Preamp. Fully NOS tubes-rolled.I changed my ref5se, with NOS tungsol, 6h30dr, for the Bespoke. I will never return back
Agree with Bazelio.That's not too controversial. The Townshend uses an AVC, the Bespoke a TVC. They do sound different in general. And then core material, winding material, etc. Both should be good, it's just that price doesn't always dictate preference.
What do you find to be "better" about the Townsend?
