Can the Tap / Bent pres be obtained?
« on: 22 Oct 2016, 01:29 pm »
I've seen the message on the Bent website but also note the parts still seem to be listed. Apologies if this get asked a lot but is this pre-amp available either built or as DIY? Seems absolutely ideal for my needs but guessing I'll have to look elsewhere.

With thanks.

Bluedroog - I have a fully assembled TAP-X - six rca input version that I am selling in the UK. I imported it from the USA so it's easy to switch the 240v PSU for the original US 110v version (which i think I still have) - no problem mailing it. Let me know if you might be interested and I can send you more information.  thanks, Neil

Just to add that I have been a member of various UK hifi forums (hifiwigwam, artofsound and pinkfishmedia) for several years - using the name "volante"

If you want a Bent TAP, look at the Vinnie Rossi LIO, xformer volume control.  This is the Bent TAP module.

You can still order the built preamps from Bentaudio, you just can'e get the parts unless your a manufacture.

mikeeastman, are you sure about this? I thought John stopped making fully assembled pre-amps several years ago.
