Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp?

Good luck if your dealing with Al, good guy but just can't get right on delivery times. Sent him a M3A for repair, wound up trading it in on a NOT YET BUILT M3B, promised in 6 weeks delivered in 15 months with delayes every 2 weeks, thought I would go nuts. Like I say, really loved the preamps and used them in my system for 15 years, go ahead and get you a set of Rothwell in line attenuaters to offset the gain, I use them with no ill affect.

Thanks. Not familiar with this item, but I'll check it out.

Everyone needs a set of these in their proverbial drawer, they are only about $65.00 and can come in rca or balanced can be used between amp and preamp (this is the way I use them typically) but can be used at the source as well, I have the 10db ones.

Is it now in vogue to boast about how long it took to get a repair or a new product because he's a good guy? Does he have any of your money? Do you actually understand why your waiting? Unique parts supply? Don't care? 

I believe this is the where the M3A/B design originated and you wouldn't believe the difference in sound quality.

Ideally you'd want an amp with 100kohm input impedance like a Belles or McCormack.  Probably others I can think of right now.  By the way, the AI and Belles amp have been a classic combination for years.  The inline attenuators appear to be a clever solution though.  Best......
