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.Political Correctness'.........defined

Talked to the owner last year at Axpona, I had gut pictures of the pre he had displayed. It was a pleasant conversation I found out he winds his own caps for the products. I really tried hard to buy some 😉

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."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine
