Hello again Rivieraranch,
I got you last message but could not directly message you back so I am sending this open message. Thank you so much again for taking the time to correspond with me. I will be relocating to Georgia at the end of February or very early March. I will make sure we keep in touch. I do plan to attend one of the DecFests since you have such good things to say about it.
Thank you for suggesting sending my Dec Pre Amp for a look-see by the man himself. The guy that sold it to me said there was not date stamp to indicate when it was made. It may have been a pre-production model and that's OK with me. If that is the case I am sure Mr. DecWare himself may upgrade it. I do hope I hear from him soon, but will call him back once I have the Pre Amp in hand. I hope to get it on coming Tuesday. I appreciate all your suggestions.
