from Audiogon Summary:
I got this preamp and was rather unimpressed with it. I contacted Jon Soderberg and worked out some mods to it. It is now FAR more open and lucid, has far better imaging, and is quite the mate for my highly moded Stasis 2 amp. If you want a real audio bargain, get this, or if a remote is a none issue, get an F-40 for even less money, and have Jon Soderberg mod it for you. Not inexpensive, but worth it, unless you can afford a Threshold T2... My rating only applies to a moded preamp, the standard preamp would be about a 2/3 in my opinion...
Jon's address;

He can be a little slow on e-mail, you may get faster results calling during the evening when he is available. Strengths:
Detailed w/o being bright, great imaging, etc. Weaknesses:
Unmoded it is both dark and bright at the sametime due to the older poorer quality Elna caps, and a Wima cap in the feedback loop, also needs soft recovery diodes. Similar Products Used:
Heavily moded Minuet in A, Acoustat TNP, AGI, Parasound, Acurus, Rotel, too many to mention.
