What’s that second box at the bottom of the preamplifier you ask? It is a separate power supply. The second box allows Jeff Rowland to put in an internal Ni-MH battery pack. According to Audio Junkies, who definitely know more about this audiophile stuff than I do:

The Criterion has four balanced and two single ended inputs, and both balanced and single ended outputs. Both signal to noise ratio and channel separation are rated greater than 100dB.

The price for such a hot looking piece of audio technology is enough to make you gasp, $18,000. If that is too much, Jeff Rowland does have some lower end models for about $10,000 less.
