Marakanetz,
Does this mean that the CJ PV-10AL that retailed for $1k is not a good design?
What about Rogue 66, readily available for less than $1k?
What about one of several AR preamp models, again readily available for less than a kilobuck?
What about a CAT with some scratches on its face available for less than $1k?
I hope that my sarcasm has not fallen on a deaf(golden) ear.
I will stipiulate that within a particular manufacturer's products, if they offer more than one preamp, and one costs $400, and the other costs $4000, the $4000 pre stands a good chance of sounding better.
But if you're saying that you can't get a good sounding preamp at less than $1k USED, you're just wrong.
Cheers, and good luck.
