I did not have a chance to listen to the Purity Statement or the Ultra but I am curious to do so. If they are better than the Reference, it is hard to imagine.
What I like about Purity Audio Design is the support that they give. The builder, Bill Baker is a super guy to deal with and so is the the guy who is responsable of the sale/marketing, Joe Jurzec.
Yes, the Purity is better than my previous linestage owned. Those were the Sim Audio P-5, Copland CTA-305, Space Tech Labs QA-808 and a Gamut C2R.
I also borrowed/demo at home these linestage: Wyetech Labs Pearl, Pass Labs XP-10 and a Bryston BP-26.
The Purity just sound right to my ears. The main reason I got the Purity is because I had a pair of Clayton M200 class A mono blcc. They were not a good match with the tube Space Tech Labs QA-808 I had.
I contact Joe Jurzec who happen to be a Clayton dealer. I asked him if he had a good linestage to match with the Clayton. He said that him and Bill Baker were coming up with a new linestage company and they were introducting the product at the Denver show in the Fall 2010. They said they were going to offer a great introductory price. I waited 6 months and made an order on the unit in Nov 2010 and received the unit in Feb 2011.
It was risky to get a product without listening to it but Joe offered me credit toward another linestage from his store if I did not like the Purity, which he said he really doubt i would not like that Purity Reference unit.
Great system! How do you like the purity preamp? And have you listened to the purity statement or ultra preamps? Is the preamp better than your previous?thanks!
System edited: Got a pair of Bryston 7B-SST² mono bloc to replace a pair of Clayton M200. The Clayton sounded great but were generation too much heat in my listening room.
System edited: Made a few changes in the last couples months. New linestage, amplifier, transport,upgraded AC cord, turntable and cartridge. Still need to get a tonearm.
