damn it! that's going to make it hard to get parts/service on these things in the future. I wonder what they're coming out with as a replacement?
The rep on the phone mentioned that the UA-25 was the replacement. UA-25 looks like the hot ticket for laptop taping but unfortunately it will
not work as a stand alone preamp A/D without a laptop connected.
The really nice thing about my UA-5 is that I can use it to run my iBook, Sony M1, JB3, and Edirol R-1. I am hard pressed
to think of another product that would give me these options.
