The sound is incredible. The value is tremendous." Avalon's President and designer of the AD2022 Wyn Morro states, "the input impedance control on the AD2022 is simple and effective, it enables the user to actually 'tune' the mic and cable to achieve the best sound." "The sound stage through the AD2022 is three dimensional." Says Director of Sales and Marketing Brad Zell. "It's like turning floodlights on in a room. Nothing escapes. It's an intense listening experience. This is the most incredible preamp I have ever heard." For more information, visit their web site at www.avalondesign.com.
