Mikey,

Thanks for reminding me about that article. However, Dudley is really focusing on some different aspects. Clearly, though, he likes the Leben. My question, though, really is aimed understanding more about the differences directly, and trying to determine whether I want to upgrade for anaddition 5 or 6k over what I already have. For now, though, I'm going to enjoy my lebens and new orangutans when they come in. That's my focus. I'll then really jump in to deciding on a new preamp.

Still, I'd really welcome anyone's comment on the two lines, and specifically the Masseto vs the rs100u.
