Preamp Deal of the Century
Ivarmorten, A good long time for a early production GZ-34,years as a matter of fact.One thing,don't switch your preamp and system on for a short period of time then shut it down.This will shorten the life of your tubes.Plan on listening for a while.

The Phantom is a $4400.00 decision if you want new and your going to wait for one.Then you have to mount a decent cartidge on it,you will quickly equal the price of a Raven One alone.On top of this you have a phono cable to connect from your Phant...
