"...what struck me most about the Prelude is the importance of the preamplifier component. Yes, you need good source components and amplification and speakers that match in terms of impedance and sound. But the preamp is the central nervous system of high fidelity and it can take the upstream signal and really transform it into something unique downstream. The bottom line is that the Finalé Prelude allowed me to get back to the music and instead of listening for perfection and flaws, I was just…listening. A highly recommended component."

Customer comment on Prelude FFX:
"I have only had 2 days with this preamp and I am totally blown away, it is a magical masterpiece that transports me to another dimension. My previous preamp is the Copland CTA 301 MKII which is regarded as Copland's greatest preamp, the Prelude FFX preamp absolutely and totally blows it away. The Copland CTA 301 MKII back in the day was regarded as a reference preamp by a number of audio reviewers. Every day I listen to the Prelude FFX, the more impressed I become with it. Please pass this on to Frank. In my current system, this is the best preamp I have had the pleasure to own... although I feel it owns me..." -G.C., Western Canada (late 2022)
