Did you eventually get one? If so what do you think of it? I’ve looked on their web site seems there are 8 or 9 variations / incarnations /options....If I were to get one I’d gravitate to simple as possible with the best parts... Do one thing and do it well so to speak...
I have had this preamp for years now. I have all the latest upgrades including the 2 power supplies. I find it nothing short of stunning. I mopped the floor on my Airtigh, Mcintosh and Rogue preamps. And it did as such in the most basic form when I first got it. Since getting it I have added the 2nd power supply and had both upgrades performed. I works best to my ears with Telefunkin E88cc tubes.
The only draw back is no remote for the volume. But it is so nice sounding, I don't find myself needing to get up and down. I set the volume and generally forget about it. I let the music play the way the album was designed.
It will respond to the platform and feet under it.
Emmanuel is a wonderful person and his customer support is excellent.
It has always blended well with any amp I put to it. I have used Altec, Audion, CJ Premier, Allo Volt Plus D. Soon a Legacy iV2.
