FS: Dodd Audio Battery Preamp - SOLD
« on: 22 Dec 2017, 10:22 pm »
SOLD.
Original owner. Built by Gary in 2012. This is an active linestage built on the Dodd Audio Battery Buffer chassis.
Unit has 16dB gain, 4 sets of inputs, including one labeled "HT", and 2 sets of outputs.
It uses a single 6922/7308 tube and I am including a pair of JAN Philips 6922 tubes, circa 1986.
The faceplate and remote are finished in Cocobolo. Unit comes with power cord.
Buyer will need a 12V charger and 12V AGM battery. I have used a CTEK charger (around $40)
and a Power Sonic PS12180 12 volt/18.0 AH Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery, also around $40.
I used this linestage with a Decware Torii Mk. IV amp and the Dodd delivered the requisite robustness to the Torii
when driving Green Mountain Rio Chroma monitors. This is a one-of-a-kind linestage built by a legend.
Asking $600. Buyer pays shipping. Location: 08846 (NJ).

Do you know the current draw, in case one wants to use a linear power supply to power this?

I don't know. AC member TrungT may know, but not sure how to get in touch with him.
Thanks.

I remember seeing that at Gary's place when he was working on an amp for me.  That's a pretty piece.
Is that a Sonicap Platinum bypass cap?
I don't need a third Dodd pre, but dad gum, that is a steal for a high end preamp.

It is a Sonicap, but unsure if it is Platinum.

Hmm, it does look like the fuse is rated at 2A - correct?  I guess that means it's less than 2A current draw?

Yes, just little over 1A (6H30 tube)
Yes, Platinum by-pass.
Good deal indeed. :thumb:
