I haden't seen this product until i stumbled upon this...
dual channel tube pre with digital out, costing less than ART's dual MP! I think the price will sucker me into buying this thing. Pre-amp wise it has to be right on par with the Tube MP. NOt great but sufficient. I wonder what corners were cut to get the price so low though. Anybody use one of these by chance? or even any of the ART converters? I wonder how good the converters are. It's got to be crap for this price. Right?

yeah,

i just saw it at musicians friend for $259. I'm thinking it looks sweet, but how does it sound. If it sounds anything like the Art pro mpa, then its more than worth it.

Sorry to change the subject, But.......

Sorry James, I just need to ask the cat of blue persuasion if he has experience the the Art mpa. I have been kind of looking at that beastie boy and was wondering how good it was.

Also James, did you see the new digital mpa they got out now. That thing looks realy cool. However, I think it's around $800 smackers US.
