The BC3000 has represented Blue Circle’s
finest effort in single-ended preamplifier technology. This
preamp has been used as a reference-level preamp by those seeking
the best possible sound. With Blue Circle’s release
of the MkII version, we are exhilarated to let our BC3000 owners
know that the MkII version will supply you with a significant improvement
over you’re original version. We realize that it’s
hard to believe but it’s the simple truth. For those
of you considering the BC3000 MkII, we will tell you that you’re
getting one of the finest preamplifiers available, regardless of
cost!
This preamplifier plays with authority in the low end, has incredible
finesse and elegance in the mid and upper regions, and presents
a remarkably 3-dimeniosnal soundstage filled with tightly focused
instruments and voices… it simply doesn’t get better!
Regarding the MkII version, it has been improved in similar ways
to the other MkII versions… improved wiring, redesigned circuitry,
and a beefed up, faster power supply (which involves more than double
the number of caps and a complete redesign). The results of
these re-workings… well, lets just say that everything has
been vastly improved!
To discuss whether the BC3000 MkII may be right for you and your
system, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
