I have an L-3000 with the 14db gain option mated with an Edge NL 12.1 driving a pair of B&W 800D's and absolutely love the combination. Seriously considering selling my Edge sig 1.1 SE pre (itself an excellent product. I had first traded a moon 5.3 phonostage on a used H-3000 phonstage and was very pleased. Had an opportunity to buy a used L-3000 last summer and do not regret the move at all.
