Western electric 124B + Music First Audio preamplifier = Perfect sound

After weeks of running in, my Music First Audio preamplifier has finally began to show its true potential!

Without the use of any pre-amp,my WE124b sounds quite natural and nice. With the Music First Audio preamp, it helps to fine tuned and deepened the sound stage without adding any artificial MSG making my listening a pleasure and a leisurely one.

Altec 755c

I have always love fullrange speakers for listening to vocal and violin and light instruments. I have a pair of the much famed Western Electric 755a. In addition, I have also a pair of Altec 755c,which I have seldom used.

However,for those who think that listening to vocal and violin using the LS3/5a is great, you should also try the 755 too and you will be pleasantly surprised.

One should own both the LS3/5a and the 755...

Music First preamplifier

After waiting for several weeks, my MFA passive preamplifier has finally arrived from UK.

For those of you who knows me, I have been looking for a preamplifier to match with my WE124b vintage amplifiers for a long time. I have used the Marantz 7, Fisher 400CX and Fisher 50C and I must say these are very good pre amplifiers. However, these amplifiers will also take away some "charateristics" away from the WE124b.

Immediately after dinner,I quickly plugged in the MFA and my first impression is that WE 124 sound is better refined. I believe with further burning in, the sound will be even better..
