'The Preamp' eh?
Some of us with remember The Preamp from the early 1980s, a very small lightweight unit with a lit-up red company logo that was Musical Fidelity's very first product. I wonder if Roger knows about it. I bought one. Very sweet sounding but the pots went windy after a few years - guess Anthony Michaelson didn't spend enough money. Other than that I was happy with it until I moved on to a used SP10 that was miles out of its league and, at nearly 20x the price jolly well should be. I have stayed with AR ever since.
