Sold: Bottlehead Smash Preamp
« on: 30 Jul 2018, 05:13 am »
Selling my BH Smash preamp.  I moved up to the 300B Preamp they offer so its gathering dust.  It has the Smashup (shunt regulator) and SmashQuiet (stepped attenuator) upgrades installed along with a choke upgrade in the power supply and upgraded capacitors (Mundorf Supreme and Obligatto Oiler).  Asking $650 plus shipping.  Preamp is working and will include a full set of tubes.

"Hi,
is the smash pre still stands for sale? btw, what is the main sonic difference you noticed
when upgraded to the 300b pre?
thanks,
eran"

Eran,
You can't receive emails yet you noobie  :).  Yes, still for sale.  The 300b gave me more tube sound, really noticeable when its playing into my Vidar to MMG's.  The Smash wasn't as full sounding for Jazz but sounded better on violin (classical) music.  I play violin and had the Smash installed just for listening but space considerations means I can't keep 2 preamps.
