    I’ll keep thread open for a week or so to see if there is interest. Otherwise I guess it’s just a tour of one.

    I don’t understand the lack of interest. I was just organizing a loaner of Darlington phono preamps with the owner/designer. Now that's bot necessary I guess.

    the black swan has a huge list of interested members. Are we gauging qualify based on price here fellas?

    I was on the Black Swan loaner and the MM-5 loaner and enjoyed both immensely. Unfortunately phono stage comparisons are time consuming for me and so I decided to not sign up for this one. Definitely not because of perceived quality, if the MM-5 was anything to go by.
