for the AE-3
I have had a plain AE3 for about six years and have now replaced it with the DJH Signature version, upgraded with silver solder, NOS tubes and the RVC-2 remote volume control. Good as its predecessor was, this pre-amp is absolutely stunning for the relatively small price, and looks (if they matter) wonderful.
Product Weakness: None noted. Product Strengths: Sheer smooth musicality, yet retains detail.
Associated Equipment for this Review: Amplifier: Audio Electronics SE-811 monoblocks Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): this is the preamp! Sources (CDP/Turntable): Ayre C-5xe, Rega Planar 3 & AE PH-1 phono stage Speakers: Quad 989 Cables/Interconnects: Atlas Equator, Monster Cable MSigma-2 Music Used (Genre/Selections): Classical, opera, jazz, blues Room Size (LxWxH): 25' x 20' x cathedral Room Comments/Treatments: very 'live' Time Period/Length of Audition: Six years Type of Audition/Review: Product Owner
