Musical Design Chameleon Elite Ultra Preamp
« on: 13 Jul 2016, 05:04 pm »



For sale is my Musical Design/Musical Concepts Chameleon Elite preamplifier. The Chameleon is an interesting design, in that you can swap out different tube boards (not just different tubes) so that different types of tubes can be used. Mine has the PC-4T board, which uses two 6922 tubes (you can find descriptions of the different boards on the website). I'm asking $1550 including shipping to the CONUS and paypal.

Musical Design's John Hilig makes many very high quality preamps and amps, as well as modifications on Hafler and Adcom amps. He has an excellent reputation among his customers, and typically flies under the radar. But at their price points, his products are among the best available. My Chameleon was upgraded beyond the usual Elite level listed on the website. John says it is the best he can make short of including a separate power supply. It also comes with remote volume control. New, the unit cost $4,000. Like all of John's products, it sounds wonderful, and has worked perfectly since I bought it from him new a year ago.

At my asking price of $2,000, I will include shipping and paypal fees within the CONUS. In addition to paypal, I would accept a cashier's check.

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry, didn't include it originally! I just modified the ad, but it's $2000.

The remote is one of those generic plastic ones. I can get a picture up later this evening.

Doesn't look like it, but just to be certain,...Does it include the phono stage?

No phono stage. It could be added by John, however.
