There doesn’t seem to be a Creek thread, which is a surprise, so I shall start.
Am using a Creek OBH-22 in pure passive mode ie not using the mains adapter and had the chance to use it in my Innuos, Luxman, Audio Research and ATC rig.
I had brought it to the UK as I didn’t have a preamp in Portugal to compare it to. I put this in the place of the Audio Research SP17 and it didn’t embarrass itself and was actually very good in a revealing system. Given the huge price difference between the Creek and Audio Research the Creek is better value for money. There isn’t a lot of point talking about the difference in these preamps as they are different propositions.
It’s a great preamp and I thoroughly recommend it. David Price did a write up of it and this encouraged me to give it a try.
