While the icOn 4 was away, I have been using my previous Preamp, the MFA classic.
Now the icOn 4 is restored in its position with my system once more I can confidently say it looks and sounds way better.
Actually I was very happy using the MFA for almost nine years, for me at the time it was a game changer upgrade performance from using an integrated amp.
Early in 2020, I was starting to lookout for an MFA Reference, definitely a used one, at £6k out of my range for a new one! Also via Ebay, I tried a Townshend Allegri +, that was returned as I felt the Tonal balance was not right, great autoformer clarity but it failed to win me over.
However while browsing for news, of the soon to be cancelled Hi-FI shows for 2020, I stumbled on a link to Pals, icOn 4 preamp.
It was the deposit paid trial that proved my next preamp would not come from MFA, and thankfully no where near as costly too!
So in retrospect I feel lucky to have discovered Life-Changer Audio, my experience using and owning this icOn 4 , leads me to conclude this little gem of Pal’s creative genius will prove to be legendary in its own right.
many thanks and best regards
Michael
