Cello Pallete/current high end pre

I am using an Audia Flight pre which retails for $7000 but which I have seen offered as a demo for under $4000.It is used as a reference by Constantine Soo [ probably misspelled] who is chief reviewer at one of the internet sites. Made in Italy and has striking Italian styling and very well built also. Both balanced and SE inputs and outputs.

Stanwal,

Your analogy on system synergy is right on!
I constantly try to stress how important this is.
Especially to "Flavor of The Month" buyers who declare
a component's value after a few days in their system.

Audio Research preamps sound great with Bryston power amplifiers, IMHO an used LS26 or even the REF1 or REF2 will sound better than the Cello Palette.
