I am selling a very nice hand-made German tube preamplifier with moving coil phono section.  This unit is in pristine condition cosmetically and functionally.  It throws a large deep soundstage from an absolutely silent background.  It is the quietest preamp that I have every encountered.  The 300SE has two XLR inputs and three RCA along with one XLR output and two RCA.  Either an XLR or RCA input can be configured as a HT pass through, if desired.  It offers three gain levels and an extremely low 100 Ohm output impedance.  The line stage uses two tubes--a 12AT7 and 6922.  (The factory tube is a Russian 6N6.)  The phono section also uses a 12AT7.  The 300SE has an outboard power supply.  Included with the preamp is the remote, manual, and factory box.  I will ship via FedEx at actual costs.    List price was $8900.  I am asking $2850.  At my asking price I will cover Paypal. 

If you are in or near the St. Louis area, you are welcome to audition it.  Thanks for checking out my ad.  Kent Johnson 636-399-8053
