An absolutely beautiful looking and sounding preamplifier. Do a quick Google search and you will find numerous glowing reviews.

I was using my Audiolab M-Dac direct to power amplifier before buying this and could't believe my ears once I included the Melody in the system. The soundstage opened right up and the separation between instruments was incredible.

2 sets of high level and low level outputs. 4 sets of inputs.

This is a good one...I sold mine for more....

 

Do they come with stock valves?...because it is very receptive to valve rolling....

I bought this recently for $1570 from the bay. Not stock tubes (but I'm not sure of the specifics).
