Strength:
Incredible tube like sound quality with bombproof solid state reliability all in a very well constructed; rack mountable component.
Weakness:
Aesthetics are somewhat challenged. No power off switch. For some the lack of tone controls is perceived as a negative although that is what I most like about it. Just pure direct sound.
The Acoustat RP-2 Reference pre-amplifier is easily one of the best kept secrets in Vintage Audio. While designer Jim Strickland was best known for his legendary Acoustat ESL Speaker line; his work with other solid state components of the era was equally as impressive in spite of being lesser known.
Customer Service The company is long since out of operations. Similar Products Used: Too many to mention over the years; it is hard to keep track ! |
