peter, are you talking about the Syren? I have not...has it got an outboard power supply which is different from its previous version? How does it compare to all other crazy preamps that you have used?
You must be referring to the Syren Reference. The 7 is a much lower model. JOY is a strong word. We all know it is a great pre, as good as my Tidal Preos; though I subjective feel Preos has almost zero distortion at ALL volume.
The idea of outboard power supply is finally given up. No big deal as it probably best all other living tube preamps. Didnt you guys know Dickson brought the Kondo M1000 to compare with the syren in PT Cessaro system? Why a one box design has even quieter background than the sacred M1000? Why the M1000 has no edge on trnsients response than the syren? The ironic part was the session was conducted in a blind test with his friends. There was no abab comparison but they did not know which preamp was hooked up when they came in. They were very sure it was the M1000 driving the Takumi. They were wrong after the truth was revealed. Wing Fai was there too.
Oh yes, I'm referring to the Syren, don't know Tron has different preamp series. Sure Kondo has no attack in my system too, but it has a lot using their own spk system I heard in Mr Kondo's place several years back.
Peter,
I tried many other tweaking feet on the Syren before and eventually gave up on to the original feet. The designer has taken every factor into consideration so the evaluation was made with the rubber feet thus it is the best balance that the designer believe, similar to Zanden and similar to Vekian...I hate the rubber feet but again have to give up on my 'visual perception' but to believe on the judgement of my ears.

wchow,2 years ago,after hearing the Tidal Preso in PT's place, I nearly bought one. Its that I have placed an order for the Alpfa 1 and and pair of EE spk cables, I can take them all in one shot.
sorry wrong button, continue here, I have heard the Wavac several times, it's not the same league as the other two, if I were to buy another preamp, the Tidal top model may be my choice though I have not yet heard it, only the Preso has already impressed me.
