 Just finished reading a positive review (Dick Olsher) of this pre-amp in TAS. When I got to the Specs & Pricing, I about fell out of my chair. A full function tube pre with phono (MM) using 6SN7's listing for $850. I thought it was a misprint, but the price is restated in the review summary. No affiliation whatsoever.....just thought it was worth passing along as it seemed too good to be true.

 His website is pretty sparse to say the least and there's only mention of separate line and phono stages...... not the full function pre. That said, looks like he welcomes all inquiries via e-mail and mentions he's just getting the business started. Time will tell.

 Love the styling.

A piece from ARC and a piece from Counterpoint went through a matter transmitter together.
