I placed an order for a Candela last Wednesday Evening. Klaus told me I could expect the unit to ship in approximately 3 months as he had something like 70 Candela's on order. I am in no rush and have learned that good things are worth waiting for. Anyway, I guess the news is out that Klaus is building a high quality, value priced preamp. I would recommend you do as I did and get your name on the list.
