I had it for about six months and truthfully I didn't think it was anything special. I sold it for about what I paid. Shelling out $1600 now would be a huge overpay.

Galen Carol Audio sometimes has factory refurbished units at a nice price.

Would look for a used Audible Illusions LS1 for digital. Currently using a Jolida Fusion pre ($1350 new) and enjoy it.
