Looks awesome!
Framer reports it will retail for $5000. https://www.analogplanet.com/content...o-preamplifier I wonder if the 1108 is coming next. |
Has anyone tried one of these yet?

I wound up taking the 508 home with me the day I also bought an SME 20/3. If you don't need a lot of flexibility or multiple inputs, I contend it's the best sounding phono stage on the market. My dealer and I were laughing at how great the Boulder sounded, in fact it sounded better in my opinion then the $40k D'agastino phono stage we had been listening to.
Happy I have the Boulder in my system! |
Excellent, thanks.

A Boulder piece for only 5K... Amazing!
