Preamp Deal of the Century

Hi Gang. Hey Kevin, congrats sir. Abill, do you know the output of the Stanton? It may be a little high for the phono stage of the cortese and could overload it.

Kevin,congrats ,,,let us know how it sounds

I haven't seen anyone comment on the 6moons review of the sauvignon yet. So this is just to let everyone know where it is.

Ray, thanks for thinking about me and the preamp problem. I'm ready to throw in the towel since I'm way over my head here. My opinion is that Mick needs an authorized US repair person. The expense and wasted time shipping gear to Australia and back is just too much to expect out of supposedly valued customers, IMO. If this has happened to Steve and I it's just a matter of time until others are similarly affected. In no way is this a criticism of the performance of this gear when it's working right. I'm just pointing out something that Mick should address. Bottom line is that I'm truly heartbroken. I'll probably not have this in my system. To make matters worse my old Audible Illusions went belly up and repair will exceed it's value. Now I'm using my sucky solid state unit. Ouch!!
