I've owned this preamp for just over a year and loved every minute. Upgrading to Preamp/DAC combo, and already have too many toys.
I just had it checked out by Frank Van Alstine (the man that built it) and was given a clean bill of health.
Has been used in a dedicated 2 channel system in a pet free smoke free dedicated listening room.
It is a 9 out of 10 - not a scratch on it
