"In terms of intrinsic sound quality, I believe that Outlaw’s Model 975 can hold its own against preamp/processors costing two and three times as much (and probably a good deal more)...

"With the 975 on duty I failed to note any difference in transparency, dynamics, or timbre relative to my everyday pre/pro, a much more elaborate unit costing more than 3 times the 975’s tariff."

Right now I'm using an Onkyo 906 as a pre/pro. One day I will get this little baby to join its cousin.
