"The Preos is something of a sonic feast. As a reviewing tool, the Preos is hard to beat. I have commented on several occasions how my Sonic Euphoria balanced passive line stage is such an invaluable tool when it comes to reviewing because of its neutrality. The Preos is an active preamp and did a much better job of allowing me to hear system changes made upstream than any other preamplifier I’ve had at home or even heard in anyone’s audio salon. The Preos is easily a reference piece for line and phono stage performance.

The TIDAL Audio Impact and Preos are a wonderful combination and definitely one of the best that I’ve heard, ever. Every time I thought their performance had leveled off, along came a cable, interconnect, or speaker change that stepped the performance up even more. There’s no telling how much better the TIDAL combination could be, especially given the available choices of cables, turntables, speakers and digital front ends. You owe it to yourself, if you get the opportunity, to give the TIDAL Impact and Preos a listen."

MOST WANTED COMPONENTS 2006 AWARD



"This quite simply is the best sounding amplifier and preamplifier that I have heard in my system. I have never been exposed to this level of musical reproduction in my listening room, or most of the other listening rooms quite honestly. Highs are open, extended and airy, while midrange voicing sounds very lifelike punctuated with low end that speaks with control and authority.
Most importantly is the way it communicates the music to the listener. There is more of that feeling of “connectedness” with the performers than I haven't experienced prior to this combos arrival. TIDAL for this reviewer represents what musical enjoyment in the home is all about."
