I am assuming this just came out in the latest Stereophile issue and I haven't received mine yet. Does anyone know what pre-amp was used in Fremer's system with the 7B SST-2? Just a thought.

Hi Cyril,

You may be correct but it would have to be a really huge output impedance on the preamp and I am sure that an experienced reviewer would or should be aware of these types of issues.
