    I didn't know about it :-P Not sure how valid a datapoint I am -- but I am a longtime Bottlhead fanboy/early adopter.

    Heck, I have an unbuilt, original Foreplay preamp in its shipping box downstairs, someplace -- there's a story behind it, but it's down there, nevertheless :- )

    I already told you I'd build/keep it for you!

    oh, you did?! :-P
    I remember having a memory -- sort of.

    I do once in a while see that Reduction and think - "hmm. that's here for a reason..."

    Doc H(olliday) carries a six shooter, I believe. It has "astonishing" sonic properties! lol
