    I won't say anything further than... nice first post.
    Was doing a google search for an affordable B&K preamp. This post came up in the search. There were no posted requirements for length of membership so I took a flyer and am looking for some good fortune like everyone else. I am an active member of AA, Audiogon and the tape project. Have given away a few thousands in gear over the years as equiptment has been swapped in and out of my various systems and could use a little Karma as I try rebuild a system that had been liquidated when I hit some hard times. I did not mean to offend any veteran sensabilities.

    Peace,
    Bhek

    p.s. I still miss my Lsi7s

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
