"The Bel Canto Design PRe3 dispels the myth that you “have to pay to play” or spend big to have a great sound. With a good front end, quality loudspeakers, and equally encompassing power source, the PRe3 will do a great job of revealing the input signal without any additional coloration.
The PRe3’s signature qualities are its midrange presence along with a wonderful detailed presentation at both ends of the musical spectrum. The PRe3 did a great job of giving me a chance to hear minute details and intricate nuances, but is also provided me with a very musical presentation that filled my listening room with wonderful sonic memories. I found that with this preamp in the equation I had a great tool to evaluate other pieces of equipment, but it is also a great addition to plug into the system and sit back and enjoy the music for hours on end without getting absorbed with what the preamp is or isn’t doing. But then again, that is what the design staff at Bel Canto strives to accomplish, to “get out of the way of the music…”
The Bel Canto Design PRe3 preamp is a marvelous feat of engineering at a price that will fit most audiophiles’ budget. As a matter of fact, since I didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to afford it and didn’t end up with debt up to my eyeballs I decided to purchase the demo unit to use as my reference preamplifier. I am also so overjoyed by the musical performance of the PRe3 that I feel compelled to recognize it for our publication’s highest accolade, the Most Wanted Component Award!"
