+1 to everything above - i had the pleasure of meeting John a while ago when my ACG-01 pre needed the treble cable lengthening to fit in my Stingray 4 - after consulting with Alan at ACG he suggested i take it John and he was great to deal with, a real gent. A few days earlier Stanley Clarke was at his workshop having his ACG-01 adjusted, so we JE/ACG users are in good company indeed.
