Aurora Audio GTQ2 - Phoenix Audio DRS-2? Preamps? Geoff?

Rob King · 16th June 2006

Forgive me for not knowing the history..But are there any differences in the Preamp Design of both of these units? Any help will be great.

They are very different from what I know. GTQ-Transformer based. DRS-Transformerless. That's as much as I know, but there are some informative threads about it. Try a search.

I think the last time this was discussed the thread ended up getting locked as it got rather heated. I believe both camps will tell you that they have totally different designs and sound. I have the DRS and always wanted to hear the Aurora but other things keep popping up preventing me from getting a GTQ2.
