Very nice sounding line stage preamp with separate power supply. Represented to me as having a phono stage - did not and does not. I need an all-in-one preamp to accommodate cramped quarters.

Really like the preamp, more musical sounding to me than the almost frighteningly "clean" YBA Passion preamps. Very musical, taut bass and extended top end. It's colorful rather than clinical and lean. Like it very much. Original retail was about $8,000. I paid $2,900 thinking I was buying a rare all-in-one (phono stage). Asking $1,900. I have lots of feedback (although not recently) on eBay as audiometer and Muser on audiogon. Small ding on the top of the separate power supply. Operates flawlessly. Bypass feature bypasses (as you'd imagine) capacitors in the signal path to sound more transparent. More pictures available upon request.

Wow bummer for you.  Great deal for someone wanting a reference quality linestage.
