New Vandersteen Control Center (pre amp) will be at the Ultra Fidelis room at AXPONIA

I'll be there Saturday.  Looking forward to checking it all out.

Can’t wait to hear all about it.  

I as well would love to hear it and about it. I believe knowing Richard and having a couple pair of his speakers and VERY unique and innovative M7 amplifiers, his preamp will be same !

looking forward to it - both Richard and Jon are genuinely great guys.

I have heard the amplifiers and they were genuinely one of the few ultra-expensive amps I've ever heard that I thought were genuinely worth the asking price.

So, based on that I'm sure the preamp will be wonderful and too expensive for me at the same time. :)

I use the M5-HPA in my Quatro Woods.  Great combo.  I use a Pass XP-22 pre and a 5M XLR interconnect.  I’m assuming the Vandy pre can also output XLR/balanced given Richards preference for that connection on his amps.

Thanks for hopping on guys. Great to see you all. It’s fully balanced as one would expect. I can’t wait to hear feedback for those who are there. Just back home for a week at NIH. Spoke to Richard and he’s also at the show to show off his new toy. Have fun and please keep this thread alive 

Update.  The preamp will be at Audio Connections in Verona, NJ in the early fall I believe. They wanted to make sure it was working flawlessly programming wise. They are covering old tech in a new way to create an amazing control center. Can’t wait.
