Hi Frank,
I was wondering if your OmegaStar EX Integrated Control Amplifier, has any provision for "pre out". You are probably wondering why I would like to use it as a pre-amp, when by the description it seems like it has quite a accomplished amplifier section.
The fact is I own one of your Super 70i amplifiers (soon to be upgraded to a Ultimate 70, when I find time to populate the board) and I am really love the sound of this amp. But there are times when tubes get quite finicky and my amp is down. Any way I would like the option of using my 70i for fun.
What's the lead time for the OmegaStar EX Integrated Control Amplifier. I understand you have quite a backlog.

The OmegaStar integrated amplifier does indeed have line out jacks from the preamp section.  These are provided to power an active subwoofer, or the power amp section can be "turned off" by pulling the internal power supply fuses so the unit can be used as a preamplifier alone.

Lead time is about 6 weeks right now.

On another note, Does this integrated amo have a "main-in" input so it can be used as just a power amp? Would it be sufficient to power Von Schweikert VR-2 speakers?

Thanks,

No, amp in jacks are not provided.  This would require a whole mess more of internal wiring we would like to avoid.

The pre out jacks are provided mainly so a powered subwoofer can be used with the unit.
