!!!!!!!!!!
Good news, and bad news.
The integrated with the preamp WORKS!
So apparently, the monoblocks I purchased on Audiogon apparently aren’t working. I purchased them 3.5 weeks ago.
And I highly doubt that the seller is going to believe that I couldn’t operate them until a preamp arrived a month later.
Interesting, that they fire up and glow just fine. $2k worth of paperweights!
