Bound for Sound, Issue #178, Martin DeWulf, June 2007, Review: "I liked this preamp enough to purchase it. Because of its flexibility, unfailingly honest approach to the music and its organic honesty, I bought it. But it's more than a reviewer's tool. It's a music lover's companion as it is able to express the finer, the more subtle aspects of a performance, without resorting to proven audio gimmickry. It took an industry outsider of sorts to put into place a different set of sonic priorities, one that got us closer to the music and away from the bottom line."
Reviewer Richard Weiner has also recently purchased the 11A line preamplifier as his reference.
SAS Audio Labs introduces the Reference 11A series vacuum tube stereo preamplifier. The 11As are the culmination of decades of research and development. Whether orchestra, opera, jazz, or rock, the 11A brings out the emotions, the realism of the event. Each 11A is individually handcrafted, usually with stock available for immediate delivery. There are three reasons the 11A is the head of the class.
One or more inputs can be set for lower gain upon request.
Bunky:
"I thought that every preamp that we listened to at the BBQ sounded very good but the SAS 11A sounded the Most lifelike to my ear's.thanks....WCW III"
Scotth:
"As was pointed out, I did find the SAS to be the most accurate, and hence most desirable preamp sonically."
