Every new expensive preamp is a world-beater! LOL! Solid-state electronics have been a settled issue for decades!
Now THAT is funny! I guess Soulution, Constellation and the others who introduced expensive new SS high-end gear in Munich and at AXPONA are fools?
Richard V isn't, and he has done something a little different to please himself first. I'd bet it will be interesting and good. "Only" $15k too. Cheap!
