    look on the polk website under "home theater" section under recent products. It is a discontinued preamp used in polks HTB system. It plugs in to a powered subwoofer with speaker connects.

    I see. So I guess I won't replace my receiver with that.

    Yeah I was if I came across one cheap enough. I really don't need though, especially right before Christmas. I was just wondering if I stumbled across a great find.

    Not true. You just need a DB25-->RCA connector. McInstosh sells these for around $40.

    They're very good preamps, and were as good as some$1000 preamps back a couple years ago.
