Best solidstate preamp/linestage I've ever used. Decided to go with a tube preamp with internal phono stage. I've rated it 8/10 for age and to be conservative. It's really 9/10. Beautiful cosmetics and not a single operational issue. Aftermarket umbilical ($150)included. I will also include the original ribbon connector. I should have a manual and will include it. I will ship and absorb PayPal at my asking price.
