It’s about 17" wide, a foot deep and about 4" high.
I’d guess maybe 8-9 Kg.
How much more could anyone need to know?

You sound just like a Hi Fi Dealer.
That’s a relief, it seems to be well adequate!
Is the distortion at least as high as the M77? Any lower and I’m out.
Is the Nob warm to the touch?
I imagine the distortion is every bit as high as that churned out by the M77. It’ll be interesting to hear what people make of it at Jim’s do.
I hope I make it but nobody is dropping out. I was going to bring my new Line Stage to compare.
What is it Dave?
It’s a Horn Shoppe The Truth Line Stage (ss). I bought it on a whim.
They look really good!
You are kidding?
If you mean me, no. I’m about to buy a Transcendent Sound Masterpiece pre and Ed posts on the forum there. I’ve also been looking at his pre: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RECENT.html#March
If it’s that good, why the dumbell foo?
Haha, I doubt Ed Shilling would agree with that. He seems honest and down to earth if you look at his forum as well as the Transcendent Sound forum.
I was talking about the photo of his line stage in your link - why the dumbell shaped weight on top?
I know. That was the reviewer, he said he made four changes to “improve” it (the dick):
Isolation Plate- I placed a metapolymer isolation plate below “The Truth”. The sound became a little purer, relaxed and better focused. It also lowered the sound-floor. Component isolation is common these days for serious audiophiles, so this is nothing special or unexpected.
Internal grounding of the (IEC jack) “earth” pin- “The Truth” was quiet with the APL digital player, but it had a loud hum with the phono source, and nothing I did could eliminate it. I later noticed that the internal IEC jack earth pin was unattached, so I connected it to the chassis. This eliminated the hum and it also slightly lowered the sound-floor as a bonus. The audibility of hum is almost always dependent on system/home grounding, so this may not be a problem with other systems.
AC power cord switched to Coincident CST and then Statement- “The Truth” comes with a 6 foot generic power cord. I replaced this with a 2 foot Coincident CST power cord and then later with a 2 foot Statement power cord. This was the largest improvement, with the exception of eliminating the hum of course. I believe “The Truth” requires a high quality power cord in the most revealing and demanding systems. I realize that a good quality power cord could cost a high % of the original investment, but it is well worth it in the long run.
10 lb. lead weight placed on top of chassis- The metal case of “The Truth” is somewhat flimsy, so I added the weight, with damping materials placed between the weight and the case. The result was only a tiny improvement, but it cost next to nothing, so why not?
Ah…my bad…tl;dr
Dumb belle.
Had a 30 min listen here this afternoon,it does sound very good.
Hopefully get one later in the year if i have the funds.
Hopefully get a listen at Jim’s next week.
Have funds but no skills
