This is a black Athena (not 12th) preamp and it is in excellent condition. I can’t find a scratch, dent or discoloration on it anywhere. The preamp and remote are built like tanks and both look as if they are new. I am the second owner of this as my friend (original owner), who has more money they he knows what to do with, sold it to me about a year ago. I love it but I’ve decided to go the Tube route with an Audio Research preamp.
Some Technical Highlights are:
It is a Pure Class-A, True Balanced, Fully Discrete Flagship Line Stage preamp with a volume control that has
a 60 Steps Microprocessor Controlled Relay Based Stepped Attenuator. All parts are Precision Matched Military-Specs Metal Film Resistors & Components with Perfect Channel Balance And Low Distortion. It is fully Remote Controlled with buttons on the front panel to control it as well.
There are 4 Inputs: IN1 - XLR, IN2 - XLR, IN3 - XLR, IN4 - RCA
There are 2 Outputs: RCA at 2.0Vrms and a XLR at 4.0Vrms
The Frequency Response is 10-85kHz（-0.3dB) with THD+N: 0.00012% and S/N Ratio: 127dB. The Dynamic Range is: >121dB, Stereo Crosstalk: -110dB. The Input Impedance is: 12.2k Ω, Output Impedance is: 200 Ω

Please check my feedback. It is important you know that I am very careful about how I describe items I sell.
