I would definitely see if you can demo an M12 and/or have a conversation with Brian about his design goals.. I'm sure you're aware, he's very accessible. Bricasti calls the M12 a "source controller," not a preamp. From my perspective, the fact that it sounds almost exactly like the M1 is spot on. But then again, the topic of what a preamp can/should do in a system is a large and contentious one. Clearly you have your own perspective and should evaluate the M12 on your own terms. --- David
