Wyetech Labs' Pearl line stage preamplifier was honoured in the First Annual Positive Feedback Online's Writers' Choice Awards (2004).
Wyetech's preamp is unusual amongst tubed devices for its ultra-wide 950kHz bandwidth that goes well beyond all but the most "exploded" of solid-state devices…
…you get something no transistor unit I know of can match - layered, three-dimensionally sculpted dimensionality in the soundstage and micro-dynamic jump factor and expressiveness.
…The 3 x 6SN7-powered Wyetech Labs Pearl is the hammer and most highly recommended.
