The 18NS is a battery operated preamp with lead acid batteries. I am not wild about lead acid batteries in expensive electronics. They have to be replaced every 3 or 4 years. There is one dealer and no demo program. Battery operated preamps sometimes don't have the same dynamics as others.
At this point I am not spending big dollars to try something that I can't hear.
It has gotten good reviews.
As to the cables, I already own them.
