Perhaps their support can answer this but it sounds like something is pretty wrong there (hopefully just in the document)!

Hi David,

Well, I sent an email yesterday to support, but have not heard back from them yet - I am hoping it is just a misprint.

I listened to your tracks on songplanet (they didn't require me to register) and I really like the following tracks (they were all good, but these I enjoyed the most):
And I Said...
The OId King
Before Those Winter Nights

I will definitely be picking up a copy, it sounded really good just in MP3, so I can imagine what it sounds like in SACD. I live in the SF area, so I will have to catch one of your gigs.

I have a few recommendations on preamplifiers with 5.1 or 7.1 in and out :

The one I'm currently am using is Harman-Kardon Signature 1.0.
It is a simple, very well built, preamp with 7.1 input and output that I recommend. It has a remote - the only problem is that it is no longer produced but I've seen them sold second hand at very reasonable prices $300-400 because I think most owners are not aware that the unit has such advantage for those mainly interrested in multichannel music.

There is also an English fabric called Myryad that previosly had a simple preamplifier called T-50 that had 5.1 but as I understand it is no longer produced. Thisone lacked the remote.

Finally there is a new pramplifier from a Mexican fabric called Margules.
The preamplifier that is brand new and has gained a lot of interrest is called Daleth : http://www.margulesaudio.com/home.htm
DALETH, 5.1 Analog Preamplifier (Digitaly Steered)
HIGH END Analog 5.1 preamplifier for SACD, DVD AUDIO, analog surround procesor and video selector (Digitaly steered)

I'm thinking about thisone myself.
