I take it the lower unit is a preamp? I think Dr Nik could do a much better job than that, with no goofy external Dumbleator needed. Hopefully for aesthetics, he'd turn to some Boogie preamps for ideas.
You are not very respectfull towards the person, who invented the amps we are discussing on this forum.
Your remarks are downright superficial and shallow. And your reference to Nik as 'Dr. Nik' is a bit offensive as well, Nik didn't invent anything, but gave us Dumble amps really cheap, which is fine but not worthy of a Doctors degree.
