I am carrying a new line of electronics called LM Audio, and I will have the LM 211IA EL34 preamp in the showroom soon. I also just received the awesome LM Audio 755EX loudspeaker system ($8,750). This is a single driver system using a remake of the famous Western Electric 755A speaker. It comes with a field coil power supply. I love this speaker!! Call and schedule an appointment.
Also new is the Well Tempered Labs DPS power supply for all Well Tempered Labs tables. A very worthy upgrade that replaces the digital power supply.
