I asked Seb about the pics in the "pipeline" section on

Coming soon: Cygnus X-2
It’s a two channel high impedance transformerless solid state preamp that runs on a single +60 Volt internal rail. It’s all discrete using low noise transistors.
There are no intergrated circuits or chips in the audio path.
Power supply is internal ( no wall wart ) .
There’s 65 to 70db of clean gain.
Compared to the vmp , which is of course a valve preamp , Cygnus is a lot more transparent but without being overly so.It exhibits soft clipping tendencies when driven and has an accurate frequency response without a hyped top end.
It’s a fast preamp without sounding brittle.
It’s due out in about a month with revised front panel artwork and a different front panel finish.
