They had that thing at namm. I talked into it with some headphones on, but that didn't tell me anything, with all of the other noises going on around me. Plus they had it running through a Milennia pre. I'd never heard one of those before either. The combination sounded pretty good, given the circumstances.

That gold color is absolutely horrrible. I would assume (hope) that they offer it in nickel or stealth black finish.
