Can't say much for the industrial design.

With that design. I guess "I Can't Handle The Truth!!"

Kind of like all my threads.

Certainly an interesting piece. Wasn't there a small British company that also had no text/marking on unit?

I ran into a guy at a local hi-fi shop among those who hang around there on Saturdays sharing stories like in an old time barber shop. He collects a lot of audio gear, and has mentioned that he owns the Truth preamp and related some stories about it. He has several highly thought of 'passive' preamps from over the years, and says to be honest they all sound similarly excellent with only very slight differences between them. Given proper impedance matching between the source and amplifier and sufficient system gain, such designs offer a great level of transparency that's hard to match with an active preamp other than with some of the best designs. Hope this helps!

Even worse... how about a keyboard with no markings

While not "The Truth", I had an LDR based pre from Aum Acoustics. All tricked out with Belleson regulators, Furutech jacks, separate power supply ETC.
It had remote capability, impedance matching, balance and more.
It was very clean and detailed sounding but lacked (soul) or warmth or bloom. And to me it just was not musical.
Perhaps "The Truth" has addressed some of this issue.
If you have an itch and need to scratch it then I guess it could be a lot worse than $995

Thank you for your thoughts. I also had and still have the Aum pre. I enjoyed it for the most part but agree about the soul part. It’s functionally perfect but a little too matter of fact.
I could see the Truth being similar but I need to hear it before passing judgment. I am still intrigued by all the excited reviews and opinions, especially from those with lots of experience and well thought out explanations for their opinions.
