Congrats Joe, Very, very nice preamp. I know of two owners with a complete pre/amp pairing. Both are very happy and infact I visitied one in his man cave. Sounded awesome; but hard to ascertain if it was singluarly related to pre/the dual amps or source (dcS), cables (Odin all around) or speakers (Avalons). Having said that, there was great synergy in his 'cave' and could have sat there for a few days without moving one inch.

Hold on folks; -- Kevin is well known for missing delivery deadlines.

Best

Bob

Joe - I assume you have seen this great review? Valve Amplification Company Signature IIa Preamplifier | The Absolute Sound

They're made here in Sarasota, FL. Want me to drive over and inspect it for you? Perhaps you want me to bring it home and test it for you - JUST in case - just to be sure it works and everything?

Mike

Joe, I have not had an opportunity to audition this preamp but it sounds like a very well designed preamp. I would imagine you will be very happy with it. Of course we are looking forward to your impressions soon!
