A couple of weeks ago I just bought a Plinius Hautonga pre amp off the used market. It is a legacy product for them now, looks like it went out of production a year or so ago. Seems like the company gets a lot of praise for the amps, but the pre's are kind of overlooked.
I thought long and hard about buying this, cause its huge, has a ton of boards in it, and does not seem to shield the power supply well from the rest of the electronics. I bought it anyways, putting a bit of faith in the few written reviews out there. So very glad I did, as this is an excellent pre amp. I am really pleased with its level of performance in all areas of music. A very well rounded component that is neutral in tonal balance, extremely low noise floor, images well, and has honest bass response. Very well built and finished also.
While it was not cheap, it certainly was worth every dollar spent.
Cheers
Mister Pig
