I've been poking around for an 8 channel pre lately and these look interesting:
Shadow Hills Webpage Their homepage looks pretty limited but these are apparently being distributed through Vintage King Audio.

It would be great Dan if you could get these guyz to send you one of these for some testing.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about its various output transformer capabilities. trans |

I just inquired about their "stepped input" option (cost per channel?) as well as how many total dB's of gain are available.
I also asked them to consider sending Dan a unit for bench testing and a review. I sent them your email addy as well as a link to this forum. We'll see. Here's a quote from its maker Peter Reardon:

Should be here in a couple weeks.  Stepped input option is available at an extra $75 a channel; 24 steps / 2.5 db per step increments. Additional "Neve/Api/Helios" output transformer options will be available at a cost of $125 per channel. |

    Holy Crap that looks Awesome! A man is no fool who gives up that which he can not keep to gain that which he can not lose. |

That thing has me harder than chinese algebra.
I just wish it came in a two or four channel version......not that the price is bad for 8 channels, it's actually very good. Trans, let me know if you want to chain saw yours in half and sell it to me.  Congrats man.Madguitrst has left the Forums.......but not before committing acts designed to offend the senses. |

Thanks guyz.
Ships out today. Recieved a call from Peter Reardon yesterday (the maker of the GAMA unit). A real nice guy, let me know that the power supply for the GAMA is now external as they had been a problem shipping it to somebody. He also engraves your name on a plate on the back of the unit that has the serial number on it. I believe I'm recieving the 6th or 7th unit made. Shipping was slightly delayed for me as an improvement had been made that he didn't want me to feel left out on. Evidently a DB-25 D-Sub 8 channel transformer isolated split is being added to the back of the unit for interfacing with FOH. The price of the unit has gone up $200 since I ordered the unit. I told Peter on the phone I would be very surprised if the GAMA wasn't a K more expensive in another 2 years. He told me China is buying up all the nickle and I'm pretty much getting prices at cost on 5 year old stock.  I'm stoked. trans |

Now that is a nice touch!
If they continue on their current glutonous path, they are going to make the USA look anorexic.
I can feel it! PS....next time you talk to peter, please rquest a 2 channel unit for me........ Madguitrst has left the Forums.......but not before committing acts designed to offend the senses. |

Man, does that thing look beautiful. I wonder if they'd sell just the front plate and the knobs. I don't think I could afford the real thing, but I could look like some hot shit with that in the rack!
If only I knew 1/10th. |

Shodan |
the thing looks so cool i could put it on a shelf and just look at it.
very pleasing to see. |

Spoke with Mr. Reardon a few days ago.
He really is a stickler for this whole "quality control" thing. He doesn't want any unit leaving his place till he's confident it has everything about it in symmetry with the next GAMA unit that is following. So, it could be another couple weeks.  |

I have heard nothing but amazing reviews on these pre amps and have 4 on the way. They will be available for rent.
