hello sex.i have an old trio ka 1055,it's a bit of a beast itself and gives the audiolab a run for it's money but i only use it as back up so if it fails i might just get out the soldring iron and change a few of the capicitors and resistors but until then i would leave well alone.i know your waiting for your pre amp to arrive but sometimes that's the fun with waiting,the anticipation.good luck,gregory.
