 Has anyone else out there had a chance to hear this preamp? I have heard from two (I think) good sources who say its the best ever....
So maybe its not all BS...
On reflection I wonder if it could work on some kind of A-D then D-A conversion with added gain and some processing in between...

 Well, for me, that website copy might as well be in Sanskrit. Distortion - "near zero"? Wouldn't that statement be basically true (measurement wise) for most, if not all, amps on the market? Guess I'll have to wait for comments from listeners and those who are technically competent to judge the claims.

 As I understand it, the copy on the website should talk about all frequencies emerging simultaneously with the circuit correcting for this. What you hear is the most precise imaging I have heard, and since each note emerges simultaneously, it is narrower and more startling. This is more what I hear interfaced with what the developer has told me. From my listening to this unit for the last two weeks, all I can say is that it is the most realism I have ever heard in audio.

Hi Norm, This is also what I have heard with the Tom Evans VIBE pre-amp. Different technology but just an incredible, pin-point solid image with the Vibe. Enjoy
