I've recently become aware of this brand, and don't see any mention of them in this forum. Their SL-1 tube preamp has several iterations over the years, with consistent high praise. Any insights?

    I've heard some of their stuff at a show, but that's really all I've got.

    Thanks for the replies. They've been able to stick around for a few decades as a boutique brand, without a lot of real advertising, so that's pretty impressive in my book.
