I’m having second thoughts about Black lion Audio . First purchase a bla Auteur quad and the meter on channel 1 didn’t work correctly, so decided i would spend a little more and get the b12a because it has stepped gain , and after getting it today and trying it out , IT DOESNT HAVE STEPPED GAIN ! I’m pretty disappointed in bla . Both preamps are being returned and buyers beware !
