ITEM DESCRIPTION: Item is an Audible Illusions Modulus 1 preamp including external power supply - unit as shown in photo and just back from a full tech checkup to make sure everything is working normally for you before you get it. REVIEW - STEREOPHILE: The Modulus excelled in several areas. High frequencies were nicely extended and open, free from noticeable hiss or grain, and open sounding. Bass extension was exceptionally good for a low-priced tube unit. There was a slight softness in the very low bass, but level and weight were very good all the way down. The upper bass/lower midrange was slightly warm, but not noticeably accentuated. Dynamics also were good. The Modulus did particularly well in this regard on percussion and piano, the difference between pp and ff being shown with exemplary accuracy. Detail and harmonic contrasts were good. In fact, I was surprised at the amount of detail presented by the Modulus —no mushy tube sound here. Image width was also good.

REFERENCES: Here is what some of our past customers had to say about us: Having been an audiophile and a reviewer for over ten years, I have dealt with many people in the industry. My experience with Chris Moon of HigherFi.com was one of the smoothest, hassle free experiences I have had. I'm sure we will work together again soon. Thanks, Greg Petan, Managing Editor/Stereotimes.com "HigherFi is an honest, forthright seller of used high-end audio equipment. I have known Chris for over ten years and he has always been above board, knowledgeable, and a very good communicator. I would surely recommend him to anyone looking to sell very high-end audio components on a world-wide stage. I'm not sure there is anyone in the business today that's sold more gear in the uber-end of the market. What else can I say? Highly recommended!" Jeff Fritz , Reviewer with UltraAudio "I first encountered Chris Moon at HigherFi.com while I was Director of Marketing at Audiogon. Chris brought an unmatched reputation for integrity and an amazing variety of astounding products to Audiogon. I've been involved in audio for 40 years, working in retail, wholesale, manufacturing, in the media, as a show-organizer and as a business-development consultant, and there is no one in the audio industry whom I respect and trust more than Chris." Bill Leebens - Director of Marketing/Audiogon, Organizer, 2012 New York Audio Show "I had the pleasure of setting up a Genesis 1.1 Loudspeaker system with my buddy that was purchased through HigherFi. The buyer was very happy and we had a blast dialing that system in! Chris seems to have all the great toys and the knowledge to get them pumping out fantastic music." Michael Mercer, HPSoundings and Positive Feedback Chris, many thanks for facilitating my purchase of the Wilson X-1 Series 3's. The speakers were just like new, as you said they would be, and your post-purchase advice about setting them up in my room has been extremely valuable. You made a deal happen that neither the seller nor I would have been able to make happen by ourselves ... but you made it happen. Thanks. Professor L.
