I'm gone.
Received it today.
It's in great condition - just one small scratch on the fascia.
Works well so far - I'm only using a single input and taking the signal from my Unison Research UnicoPRE valve hybrid pre-amp and Eastern Electric BBA valve buffer - so that gives me remote control of volume.
How does it sound? - well it's only been switched on a half hour or so - but the word fabulous comes to mind. Neutral? No - it's got a wonderful golden glow to the sound that makes my Melody valve power amp sound a bit 'matter of fact'. Detailed, 3D and hugely listenable. I don't think that 'listener fatigue' is in its vocabulary!
Loving it so far.
... and doesn't it look great!
