when my experience is negative, but I will echo your comments.

I heard a system using a C28/2105 along with an MPI5 "maximum performance indicator" that looked super cool with all the blue lights, but was disappointed by the sound. While it wasn't offensive like Crown gear of the day, it was insipid. Boring.

If someone wants a 70s vintage preamp, I would recommend an Audio Research SP3a, Mark Levinson JC-2, an H-K Citation 11 or a DB Systems. Didn't you have one of the latter back in Fat Julian's Audio day?
