Brucec Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I recently purchased a similar pre from Mark. It improved the sound in my system by a big margin. This “illusion” will live up to its name, don’t be fooled by the small footprint. I’m running it into a 300watt Holton Power amp driving Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers I’ve tried a few pre’s and I think Mark’s is the best in my system. $500!! Someone buy this now. You won’t be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
