I shipped my BHK pre back Tuesday and that was before the PMG hit second gear which it did that evening after between 50 and 60 hours of playing time. This is the first time I have had a solid state preamp in my system since the Adcom 565 which I purchased new in the last century.
I have had more than a few preamps in my system and all of them gave me slightly improved sound over the predecessor but none of them came close to what the PMG does right out of the box. This is a very special piece of gear. No make that very, very special. My system is at the stage where I am very happy with incremental improvements. To get a large jump in performance like this was a delightful surprise.
I don’t know if itwill continue to improve as it breaks in but I hope it settles in before the DAC arrives. For those of you who can’t purchase new at this time but are considering a preamp ,I would audition a BHK which was the best preamp I had up until the PMG. There should be some really good prices online for the BHK’s in the very near future.
