Subject:Re: Tube preamp

The Speakeasy has converted me HARD! I am a long-time
LESLIE user (3x122s) but have recently been so
convinced by the quality of that preamp that I bought
a flight case for my Motion 3t/lopro rig to take on a
tour where a Leslie is out of the question. But I was
so impressed with it, that I will be using it with my
122 rig as well. Next week I'll post my "review" of
the Speakeasy 122 rig. You will not be disappointed
by that preamp.
