I purchased this on Audiogon about 2 months ago and the gentleman before me had it for about 2 months. He was having problems with it in his system and when I received I had the same problem I guess during shipping from Asia the wires were pinched between the top plate and transformer and it snapped a few of the strands. I just soldered the wires together and haven't had a problem since. There are some small chip off the finish on the bottom of the enclosure due to the feet I used, I'm rating this a 7/10.
Everything said about this pre is true, this thing bettered my IRD Purist and Odyssey Tempest.
I'm asking $200obo shipped in US.
