It is totally understandable not to continue to support them if they don't support their products.
I know previously you were looking at the LD MK III tube headphone amp/pre-amp. I think you would really like that product. The LD MK II headphone amp/pre amp is pretty much exactly the MK III but in a different looking chassis. It is $179 shipped to your door.

They might do a better job with finicky inputs on equipment and also prevent damaging them. BJC is one store that I know uses them and they offer a 30 day trial period.
