Saw those, I just don't have a solid point of reference on the reveiwers.
They might fluff anything that glows orange.

I was never a bottlehead, but have been thinking about an upgrade and thought this may be a simple way to go
I'm all for simple these days. Fewer interconnects, fewer inputs, more room and freedom for me.    :)

from what i've read about them make it seem like a great deal for the money and the ability to swap out tubes is always fun.  when i was in the market for a preamp i almost bought one but got a killer deal on a ys-symphonies so i opted to go that route instead.  you can always try to find one used on audiogon and try it out for yourself and if you decide you don't like it you can resell it for what you paid for it.
