Hi Phil,And Townshend have just released a super duper version of it. Looks great
Best passive I ever had was the mfa baby ref v1. Dynamics in bucketloads
I am using adapters, £9k is too rich for my blood.That new Allegri Reference looks very tasty. It will be on my list if I ever need XLR connections.
Ouch! That's pretty steep for a passive pre. I do like the regular Allegri+ which is £2500, but there are good deals out there, and you can get a nearly new one for about half that.I am using adapters, £9k is too rich for my blood.
& expensive caseworkExpect little or no difference between a £100 passive and a £10,000 one! They are just a switch and some resistors... there is no scope for anything other than n'th degree differences!

The fancy case probably adds more to the cost of a piece of equipment than the innards. Having said that people do judge by appearance.Indeed yes! Oh and you may get more steps to the attenuator and hopefully a mega quality switch that lasts for years in an expensive one. Other than that... nah.. a resistors a resistor basically!

Hi Phil,any idea on price yet ? got to be 8k plus surely
That'[s almost always the case. The expensive bits of an amplifier are the case, power supply transformer, and the big capacitors. Then maybe the switchgear. The rest of it is for buttons.The fancy case probably adds more to the cost of a piece of equipment than the innards.

gosh and this just popped up, just a few months old and less than a v1 s/h !!!!!
