We may differ in taste, but I rather like my fleet of 8 midas preamps that I got for less than a grand.. Maybe the Clarett is great, maybe not. But it's not anything revolutionary at the price, in my opinion.

Definitely that price point is very attractive, and this has the potential to break new ground. But as it is right now, I'm not convinced

If your pre's are a great value as well, you're definitely at a different vantage point than me. All I have is what's in my MBox 2 Pro. LOL (Lacking, to say the least)

So far it looks like by the time they ever get drivers reliable for Win 8.1 or 10, there will be more to base an educated decision on out there. It would be nice if the Clarett stood the test. Shame TB is such a sticking point for PC's.

I've been waiting quite a while to do a forklift upgrade at a reasonable price. And only once that will hold its own for a few years, rather than a flight of stairs. This is just a side hobby.

You're a step ahead having a decent bank of pre's.
