As always, the devil is in the details. When I read that they have no return policy, that's it for me. No return on something you have to buy without audition? No thanks.
I can see both sides, he says so to keep your cost down. he could have a return policy then you would have to pay shipping both ways and I am sure the price would go up as they cannot sell the return as new so guess who pays for the loss when they have to sell the unit as a open box.
see what I mean.
 
I was looking at one of the magico dealers and you pay for shipping plus a 25% restock fee!
It’s a shame the EX-M1 doesn’t have a preamp outputs. I’m all for simplicity, but it seems they’re excluding a sizable portion of potential integrated customers by not doing so. I wonder if it could be modified by a tech to install preamp outs?
@pts  Let Alvin know via a detailed email...can't hurt? : )  

They have the EX-P7...so what you are asking for is a logical extension of their product lineup.
I dropped Alvin a line; he said for an extra $150 they can change a pair of stereo inputs to pre-outs. That’s great news!
