Hey guys,
The proceed group was the byproduct of the Mark Levinson family for the HT crowd. Much of the proceed products contained similar technologies & features of the highly regarded and much more expensive Levinson gear. After ML & proceed were bought out from the Harman Group, proceed was dismantled because they felt the more affordable proceed line was stealing sales from the higher end stuff.
This is a SS preamp that listed for $2k back in the day. There are still technicians working in the harman group that can fix proceed gear if any issues ever were to arise. The links above are correct and one should lead you to the Harman group for support if necessary.
This preamp normally goes for over $600 but due to the economy, its a steal right now!

All the original material, remote, box, & etc are included. Its mint condition!
Let me know if I can be of any more help.
