Thanks for the clarification and news that there is a corrected manual about. I am not planning for the CSS upgrade, but I have not really put this pre-amp to task yet. I find the tubes are very susceptible to noise if touched, but I have only been able to use it to try and troubleshoot a Dynaco ST-70 I am building. May not be a good match....
"Quickie_1.1.pdf" is the name of the file I copied to my hard drive. I will check the CD for any date, but I don't think I would have removed that from the filename. (Every PDF I make in my work incorporates the date in the filename as well, so I understand the necessity for this!)
