If you mean the MSB Discrete, no, I haven't hear it yet. We're getting a Premier pretty soon, though.

Can't wait to read about and hear the new Premier. Might have to trade in my Luxman 08.

Msb has been doing modular for years and ahead of there time in this regard. I tnink there psu devices are among the best made in specs too.
I have owned them for years and how it was sourced also was again ahead of many if not all.
Now having said all of this there price point has gotten so high that none of this makes sense for me anymore. Digital moves fast and there’s always a new edge that’s sharper. I am all SS bit do admit tubes make a system have a musical sound and given we each need to tune our systems a tube seems a good place to do.

We're getting ours soon! I don't know if you have a dealer local to you, but otherwise, you're welcome to give us a call and we can work something out.


cheers,

Al,

You'll have to pick something else other than price to complain about MSB. At $10k and $20k, they're very competitive with what's out there, including the stuff you currently own. And it's all made in the US.

Now, if you need tubes in your source, there's nothing MSB can do for you :)


cheers,
Alex

If the MSB Discrete or Premium have 10% of the capability of my Select II, you will be in for a real treat. This company gets digital.
