We would like to scale back on the Musica Bella LeAnna preamp models offered.

Right now we have the smaller chassis LeAnna EV Plus with a solid state power supply. As an option with this model, we also offer an outboard tube power supply in a matching chassis.

We also have a full sized, single chassis LeAnna with a low impedance tube buffer output stage (after the main tube circuit) and solid state power supply.

My question is whether or not we should also offer the current twin chassis version in a single chassis with tube or solid state power supply options or keep it as the twin chassis option.

Many customers have liked the idea of the smaller footprint of the LeAnna EV Plus linestage but we would like to make life a little simplier.

Your thoughts and a quick mouse click in the poll above would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to the Musica Bella product lineup if you need more info.

Hi

I think you should offer a single chassis preamp with a tube power supply. My reasoning for that is a space savings to a consumer and also I don't think many of the competitors to the LeAnna EV Plus offer a tube power supply. You could have an advantage being more unique than the rest. Maybe MapleTree or Bottlehead offer a tube power supply with their preamps?

Earlier I was thinking about having the older MusicaBellaMax preamp I got modified with the new tube power supply you offer but since I have a lot of gear in the rack I couldn't fit the external power supply properly.

Can't wait to see what is decided and the pictures of the finished product.

We are leaning more towards the single chassis design for the tube power supply however will likely keep the single smaller LeAnna EV Plus chassis for those who want a less expensive preamp. This has been a popular piece and the chassis is already designed. Plus some of our customer like the idea of being able to have both a tube and solid state power supply on hand.

The single chassis is already designed and due in soon. There are two versions of the LeAnna available.

Note in the rendering below there is a slight error. The blue LED with "HT" above it actually the "Mute" LED indicator. It is properly marked on the finished chassis.

We are offering a special introductory price on these pieces so if anyone is interested, please contact me for your price.
