How long is it taking to receive a preamp?

@emergingsoul

You may have been speaking with the wrong dealers. In addition, if you believe dealers are heavily biased, try asking Audio Research how their preamplifier stacks up against Shindo or Audio Note or BAT or another brand you may be considering.

Once again, buy what you like from whomever you like but no one is unbiased. 

I value dealers....  This hobby, pastime, lifestyle, whatever you want to call it NEEDS dealers.   I visit a few local ones occasionally...  usually for. an accessory or tube or something just because.   But often times it stokes the fire for something like a new speaker, or source,  amp.... 

So when I am looking for something I will consider used and new .  I never waste a dealer's time.  If you, the dealer take the time to demo something and work a little on the price I am most likely buying it from. you.  Im really not a fan of buying online...  I do it once in a while,  there was no Quicksilver dealer near me so I bought from Johnny at Audio Connection in NJ.   He took good care of me, no doubt and I'm still supporting a dealer, not some mega-conglomerate

My new Lyndorf MP-40 took about 3 months from Denmark. Man was it worth that wait. Room Perfect is .... PERFECT

REALLY!  Based on the Original Question?  and there was even 20 Replies plus..  I guess everybody is bored wanting to tinker with answers .. as they listen to their music?   Not sure if folks know, yet there are many Preamps and suppliers.. too funny sorta like me Posting

Hmm, I'm as bad as all of us even replying.. I suppose.. too bad emergingsoul could not have been more Specific..?

You have to feel sorry for the makers.I ordered some capacitors from Madisound and sent by UPS and it took 13 days to get from Wisconsin to L.A..And we thought our postal service was slow!
