It sur duz luk sexy!
I'd give it a 5/10...no kidding. I really don't like the Avalon stuff, never have. It's not *bad*, exactly...it's just not anywhere near stellar, and for that price I'm definitely expecting to be blown away. Doesn't even compare to my favorites: Great River, Chandler, Pacifica, API...not even in the ball park.

Take what you would have spent on a 737 and buy a 500 series lunchbox and a bunch of API and Pacifica modules. You'll never regret it. I'm assuming your converters and monitors are killer...if they're not, forget preamps entirely and upgrade those
