Veloce battery-powered line stage

[Bill Hart]

Anybody here using one? Can you give us (me) insight? I did a search here and didn't see much.

The only review that I know of was by HP in TAS a couple of issues ago. Tried getting one for review a while back to no avail.

Thanks Myles. In addition to reviews, I'd be curious to know about user experience. I heard them very briefly at the Waldorf, but as you know....[is there a standard acronym that says "Show Conditions Are Rarely Ideal", e.g. "SCARI"]

I am using a Veloce its nice. Great dynamics, quiet, gets the top to bottom note. This is not a warm tubby pre amp its very musical but neutral at the same time. There is a upgrade on them now called MKII!

Thanks Worldcat! And, as a member of this august forum for all of two weeks, I want to extend a warm welcome on behalf of, well, everybody. have you 'rolled' tubes on the unit you have and can you tell me what else you are using in the signal chain? I am currently using a Lamm L2 which is pretty synergistic with the ML2s.

I have not rolled tubes I have Aerial 20ts series ii, Nuforce ref 18 and ps audio mkii dac.

thanks for responding. I was supposed to hear the unit last week, but schedules got in the way. I may borrow it at some point from my dealer to try at home. That's usually the only way.
best,
Bill Hart

Yes that is the only way! Let me know your thoughts.

Team Veloce is due to bring a unit over for a listen. I'll keep you posted.

It's a really good preamp. I helped setup the Scaena room at CES last year where it was used -- very transparent.

Yes they are very transparent but musical as well. Just lets the music flow threw it not much of a signature at all.
