    I'm guessing either a tube pre, or a tube amp can't quite remember which, but I hope you enjoy it, and post pictures of it.

    Don't spill water on the tubes
    Don't use near a swimming pool
    The unit should not be situated on a bed, that may block ventilation

    Dared MC-7P preamp. I stayed up way too late last night listening, it's brilliant. There is no reason for me to ever listen to music through my Yamaha AVR, B&K preamp, or the Pro-ject phono preamp ever again. I'll take better pictures later, I have work in 15 minutes and don't have time to dig out my Nikon.

    No joking, I paid something like $60 for mine off Craigslist. Might have been $80 I don't remember exactly. Either way, aren't they over $1k new? I basically stole it.

    It really is a very beautiful looking preamp. Makes the rest of my gear look like old garbage.
