You would be wise to reach out to Aric. I originally worked with Aric several years ago when he built me a MM Phono Pre. After taking delivery and seeing build quality and hearing the sonic differences of that and my Pass phono pre at the time, I was blown away! I then worked with Aric and we came up with a one off super preamp called The Motherlode, yes the original. I immediately sold my Pass XP30 and never looked back. After several years and a conveyer belt of gear passing in and out of my audio rack, The Motherlode is the only piece of gear still in place. It is that good, and Aric's excellent customer service is a rare find these days!
