BEHOLD - digital gear from Germany


So has anyone had the opportunity to listen to the digital preamp and amp. combination from Behold? They've been getting a lot of traction at Stereotimes and a few honorable mentions on Soundstage!
If you've heard it: how does it compare to the other digital offerings available, or for that matter, how does compare to all the long-standing analog products on the market??

Plato - agreed on the price, that's steep admission. But nonetheless, I'm simply curious to know if anyone, other than a reviewer, has heard it.

Ultimately, I tend to put more value on what private individuals have to say about a product than what various publications have to say.

I'm surprised that apparently so few people have heard of the name, given the publicity they've been receiving. I would have thought that given it's digital design, there would at least be some opinions..
publicity?....Google turns up very little? Also, where in North/South America are their dealers?...BEHOLD USA lists no dealer network at all....hardly surprising that no one has jumped in with much input?

Dave - From my Google search, I see a review and numerous comments from coverage of various shows from Stereotimes, 6moons and Soundstage spanning the last couple of years.
So you don't know the stuff, then my question still stands: Given that they have been at all(or at least most) of the major shows over the past couple of years, has anyone actually seen or heard these products? Has anyone seen the reviews/comments I mention above and if you have, do you have any thoughts??
