PMG Preamp vs PS Stellar Gold Preamp

I know it is early but I was wondering if anyone has compared these two. I am one of the buyers that preferred the SGP to the BHK when I was changing preamps.

I’m in the same situation-I returned a BHK pre and kept my Stellar Gold pre. Would be great to hear any observations comparing the two.

I have owned all three. Like you, I much preferred the SGP to the BHK. Switching from the SGP to the PMG Pre, I could sense a significantly lower noise level over the SGP which contributed to hearing greater details, improved soundstage precision and enhancing dynamic range. While beyond a subtle change, I would not call it a dramatic change, but certainly worth the upgrade for me. The SGP trade for the upgrade makes this a very sensible upgrade IMO. I have three XLR inputs and the SGP only allowed for two of the three requiring me to use an RCA connector for one of the three components. With the PMG, I can go back to XLR connections for all three components which I prefer. I also like the design of the PMG over the SGP, albeit certainly a subjective point.

Thanks for the info, I imagine it would be better, what do they offer for the SGP trade?

Thanks much for your thoughts! I’m thinking now my upgrade path would be the PMG DAC (from the DSD MK2) then potentially the PMG Pre.

You might call the sales team to ask about trading up, best to go direct to the source.
