This is a great deal. For the benefit of whoever gets it I will share the results of my research: on the gain question, Nelson Pass himself responded to my question in the DIY forum, writing: "The phono stage is about 40 dB at 1 KHz, switchable to 60 dB for MC cartridges. The high level stage is probably 20 dB." On the impedance question, Jon Soderberg <vintageamp@surewest.net> wrote:

"Hi Ron,
I believe it is 100 ohms. I'm am sure it will work just fine.  Just avoid long cables.
I replace the electrolytic caps for $350"

Good luck with the sale!

Hi Ron. What I really like about this preamp is that is sounds better then most even tube pres .And I really like how dead quite it is. Nelson did a good job on this one. For $300.00 it is a steal. It's in perfect shape no dings scratches or marks . You have my word. Check my feedback on audiogon and usaudiomart under sjcinci for a 100% stafaction for many years. You won't be sorry.
