I would consider a swap for headphones of same value and quality. Balanced with XLR cable preferred.

Price reduction to £960. This really is a top notch pre-amp.

Iv'e had no interest at all Ken TBVH. I think it is because it is Chinese. It's a two and a half grand pre-amp and well worth what i am asking for it. I am only selling it as i need a pre-amp with top notch headphone output which i have bought. I will bring it along to NEBO methinks.

Good idea, i'd be interested in how it sounds.
You get a lot of Amp for the money, its a bit of a bargain at what your asking.
For those that don't know, this is what's inside.
