has anyone seen
these locally yet? and a Aust price?
The reviews are really fantastic, people that are using them have been incredibly positive with the sound.
I want one.

i've been reading about these pre's a LOT on tapeop.com
for the benefit of other turtlerockers i'll share what i've heard.
from what's been said they're absolutely amazing on acoustic guitars (as well as other sources). people that own them are preffering to use them rather than $2K pre's for that purpose.
however there is some grumbling about the power supply (wall wart) and the noise associated with it. also it's not balanced out.
however the moderator on tapeop is supposedly an advisor for EH and apparently there's a rack mount, balanced version in development
anyway, i haven't heard them. only know what i've read on tapeop
the australian price is around $500.
