    Brianle,

    What op amps does it come with? Box, packing original? I am just running out the door to our local Festival (I'm on the committee) and I won't be back until later tonight. So we'll take care of the details then.

    Congrats gentlemen.

    Brock,
    I'd mention something about a review but I know I'd have better luck collecting my social security checks in 5 years.

    Arrived safe, double boxed! Awesome packing job in the original box too!

    G/F seemed genuinely ok with the purchase. She doesn't understand at all, especially when I popped the hood to see what op-amps were running in it currently. Best blank stare I've seen in a while...lol.

    But I do need to do something nice for her also......Lol
