BUI - Guilty

*L*  Watch out, VZ....Just because you 'hit on the audio Lotto' doesn't ensure the 2nd round. ;)
Take the time (and the next buzz event) to research that amp. *G*
Pick a 'top 3' and enforce Patience.
Anything good in the used marketplace almost demands such.

Approach it like a Vegas impromptu wedding; Sure, it might work out.

Like the man said:
"You feeling Lucky, punk?"

That one went really bad...*L*

Is there a better way to enjoy “Kind of blue” ?

@OP,  I hope you have some hours this holiday weekend to sit back with the BAT!  Enjoy!

I got in about 5 hours last night, I just couldn't stop listening and comparing.  I know the new tubes aren't even burned in yet, but what I heard last night was extremely promising.

This preamp has balls, something I would not normally attribute to a preamp.  Bass was deep, extremely tight, and fast.  That continued up through the entire spectrum.  Soundstage is much improved in depth, width, height, especially localization.  It's also dead quiet.  Pausing a digital source while listening at very high levels, the Maggie's were totally silent, even with my ear right up to the speakers.

Not at all what I expected from a tube preamp, in a very, very good way. I could not detect any deficiencies comparing it to my current preamp.

This is almost certainly a keeper, at least so far.  As an added bonus, the Harmony has definitions for all the remote functions for my hub and remote, and it even has a ht bypass function.
