Black faceplate with gold knobs matches their SHA-GOLD and other preamps. Price approx. $1000-$1200.

The dual mono version would be the ultimate, but the stereo version with highly regulated power supply goes for $2395 U.S. Rave reviews thus far. Geeez....Sheeesh.....:-) Keep your eyes (and ears) on this one, Audiogoners......
