Martin,
Thanks for the update.....bit out of my budget but would be interested if you could post up your impressions-lovely looking bit of kit!
Jons a great guy to deal with, he's got a version without the source selector, which is perfect for me as I'm purely digital, which helped get the costs down a bit.
Of course, it'd be my pleasure to write a review once I've had it delivered.

The Tizzie still gets a very strong vote from me for great sound at a low price. Most pre-amps can't compete with it for detail and transparency, imho.
Fair play. Is your current pre a keeper, or is nothing safe?
My MBL speakers are for the long term (I say that with something of a heavy heart, superb though they are, as I did love my speaker boxswapping dearly) anything and everything else is in short- or medium-term rotation. :)
I've got a Channel island PLC-1 mk.1 passive preamp. It's ideal for me, I tried for ages to find a passive preamp with a home theatre bypass.
This one's remote control as well, which is a bonus.
CI audio don't seem very well known in the UK, I had to import mine. Here's a link for the mk.2 version http://www.ciaudio.com/products/PLC1MKII
Hi guys
I just stumbled on this great thread
I wondered what the latest thoughts on the Tisbury passive is ?
I've just ordered one to try with my Quad 2/40 valve , and although sceptical I hope I'm pleasantly surprised. I've been buying AV boxes stuffed full of superfluous electronics for years. The philosophy of a straight line approach to the pre amp appeals to me. I'm advised by Tisbury that the unit will suit the input level and impedance of the Quads.
Any thoughts guys ?
Best wishes
Graham
I have a Tizzie on loan from Jerry (jandl100) just now. I run a Classé Audio DR5 which is presently driving a Quad 306 and B&W DM2 speakers and it is a stunningly capable pre-amp. It is also humongous and built like a tank. You could fit 15+ Tizzies within the casework of a DR5 and yet with it in circuit I have never heard my system sound so transparent, it is a wonderful little marvel in my eyes (or should that be ears) :D
aye a wee cracker for a very affordable outlay....hidden hi fi jem.
