Quote #1  "The Granite Audio Preamp delivers the magic of music. Listening with this preamp is one of those hair raising on the back of my neck while I'm tapping my toes
kind of experiences. A vinyl recording of Orphee Aus Enfers is playing
as I write this, and I am tapping my toes to the beat, laughing with joy
at what I am hearing. I feel at one with the emotion of the music."  Mike Malter.

#2  "With a piece of gear this outstanding, I was intrigued by what
went into it to make it sound so good. What I mean by so good is that
this preamp by my way of thinking is so incredibly musical. It is also
extremely quiet, a virtue for its built-in phono stage as well as in
general for allowing fine and subtle detail to emerge. Furthermore it
handles very complex musical passages such that fine instrumental detail
is apparent while at the same time maintaining the broader musical
picture. Its tonality to my ear, or shall I say tastes, are correct. I
tried to find weaknesses to write about. And I am embarrassed to say I
couldn't find any, at least from a musical perspective."   Mike Malter.

#3  "After break-in, I had the best time listening to music that I have
ever had. I would like to share some of the highlights of my
experience, to reveal both the strengths and weaknesses of the preamp
and, in the case of vinyl, its phono stage. For my vinyl references, I
first chose Also Sprach Zarathustra,
performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and George Solti. This is a
very complex piece with enormous range, and because of this, much can
get lost in reproduction. That was not the case here. It seems that the
more complex a piece of music, the more the Granite Audio phono stage
likes it. The opening buzz representing the nothingness of the Universe
was clear, not at all mushy. When God spoke, even during the crescendo
of the Grand Voice, each instrument sounded separate and clear. This
rendition has a lot of bass, and it was always tight, never mushy or
bloated, and never emphasized at the expense of higher-pitched
instruments or the gestalt of the piece. I never heard any kind of
congestion. The sound was natural, open, and spacious, never harsh or
glary.  Next up, Kind of Blue.
What's not to like? I heard sound that was wide and spacious, with
small details very easy to hear. The bass was clean and tight, the highs
crystal clear. The music was liquid and smooth, with a strong, solid
presence."   Mike Malter.
