Default D'Agostino Pre-amp for audition
When Paragon SNS showed on my Caller ID my first thought was that after auditioning the Transparent Opus SC in my system for the last two and a half weeks I was going to have to let them know whether I had decided to purchase them or not.

Yes we did discuss the Opus cables but to my surprise I was being offered the opportunity to put the first hours on one of their D’Agostino pre-amps and begin the break-in process. I guess I am lucky that Larry is such a Syracuse basketball fan and that he will be heading for the Final Four this weekend. I will get to spend the weekend rooting for Michigan and against Syracuse while auditioning this pre-amp.

Photos to come shortly.

Resistance is futile Jim. Take advantage of Larry's good mood while it lasts.
