Perhaps should be mentioned with this preamplifier. My understanding, perhaps incorrect, is that James Bongiorno was still working at SAE when he designed Ampzilla as a kit for Popular Electronics, and soon after left SAE and started GAS with Ampzilla as his first product.

Note that GAS Thaedra preamplifier, subject of this article, was (almost) a fully developed retail product only two years after the Ampzilla magazine article.
