Melody P2688

[Hugh]

Just when I thought nothing can beat Melody PB101...here comes the brand new P2688.

For those who didn't know, Melody PB (Pure Black) 101 is a much much better successor to the already excellent Melody P1688 Signature (6Moons voted as one of the best Preamp money can buy back about 14 years ago) and NOW, the new Melody P2688 is surpassing the PB101 in every way I can tell and it's based only on about 15 min. of listening.

Impressive frequency response. Is it truly flat or does it roll off a little?

 

[Hugh]

As far as I can tell, it's pretty flat.

I myself have not heard anything better.
