Supratek a new thread on the "deal of the century"

Hi to all

Just ended reading the "deal of the century" thread. Impressive piece of information! I have a couple of questions for you on the Charodonney (no phono) preamp:

1. How much ins and outs has the stock version? And what type (single ended, balanced)?
2. The remote (extra) is made of plastic... No other option avaliable (like chrome)?
3. Last but not the least: the sound. A huge percentage of the comments on the former thread do not refer to the SOUND of the preamp, which is natural (since most of the people was still waiting for the equipment). So what about:

bass (boominess) and highs (sweetness)?
air between the instruments?
soundstage?
speed and impact?
and overall sound (and warmth)?

Best,
Lisbon
