Eric, I have been in contact with a Bel Canto exec who will sell me his personally owned PRe2P. I'm interested because of its phono section. My Integra DTC 9.8 analog processing is average at best. He says with its unity gain capability I can use it for HT bypass. Being that you are a Bel Canto fan, I have 2 questions for you: 1. Are you familiar with the the PRe2P and, if so, what is your opinion of it. 2. Can I use it in the manner he suggests, and can you explain unity gain in terms that I can understand. Ok, 3 questions... 3. Is the $2000 range a good price for this piece used. Ok, 4 questions... 4. Is there a "burn-in" period for the phono stage alone. I've read that it may take 100 hours or more, and this guy says he hasn't used the phono section...hence his reason for giving it up for a PRe2 with no phono.
