preamp is about 3 years old, I am the second owner. Price: 1700 plus shipping.
I really love this preamp, especially with my Burgess monoblocks, but Its more convinient to keep my very good Berning TF-10 preamp as it has 2 preouts.
1. Multiple playback curves - RIAA, AES, Columbia, London, AES, and 78
2. Mono switch
3. Loading for 1K or 47K. 1K was selected for optimization for the Denon 102 mono cartridge. The nice feature here is that you have more than one loading option and can simply solder in whatever resistor you like whilst keeping the 47K option.
4. Hi and Low output. The Low output is simply output minus the 76 linestage. I used this when going into other active linestages.
5. Choice of 76 or 6J5 for the linestage.
6. 6F8G in place of 6SN7. The best 6F8Gs are cheaper and equal/better than the best 6SN7s.
7. Premium parts galore, zebrawood chassis, and thick panels express top plates.
Includes numerous tubes of each type including a Bendix rectifier (note here that 6F8Gs have gone up significantly since this unit was built and you will get two pairs). All of my tubes were bought as NOS or testing at NOS levels.
