Isn't that a bit pricey for this preamp? Last time I checked the Audiogon values, I think the listed range was $500-800. I have seen some with Alta Vista upgrades going for more, but..... I'd like to get one of these preamps either upgraded or stock (but more reasonably priced) if anyone knows where.

you could try the altavista website,5-800 for stock is right.There was a 3000 here for 350 last week,that would be the one to get for upgrading.It had power supply issues.They also go from 5-800 stock,good luck,Bob
Gbslps,you really dont know because you never had one.yet you dare to compare!Imposter!20 lashes for wasting this precious cyber-space.Do your homework before school tomorrow and you wont have to ask why for a change.Mike is [arguably] in the top ten.Now beat it......
Gbslps,I was not upset with your post,more like probing for another from you explaining ,shall I say,a rather unusual position for a bonafide ex-Counterpoint player.Unusual in the sense that most people who know Mike's work would know not to put his business acumen alongside his design talents.2 different worlds to be sure.That being said,I remain your fellow audiophool on most levels.Till we meet again then,thanks,Bob....Hi John!
