I am the original owner. Bought unit new from dealer. It served me well for a number of years until I replaced it with an Atma-Sphere preamplifier.
This unit is not the SE version. It comes with 4 Russian (platinum matched by Upscale Audio) 6922 tubes and 2 Russian 6V6 tubes, all with very low hours since I used upgraded tubes for most of the time. The preamp responds very well to tube rolling. It was rated Class A by Stereophile.
https://www.stereophile.com/tubepreamps/1105bat/index.htmlI have used it in combination with a number of SS and tube amplifiers (Classe, BAT, McIntosh, Atma-Sphere) and it has worked without exception very well. Initially, I used it with SS amplifiers to add some tube sweetness (not to much - it's a BAT) to great effect. Since unit was already boxed for a couple of years, I just reinstalled it in my system and it works great.
The condition is an Audiogon 8, conservatively rated - for age. There are no marks. It comes with a solid aluminum volume remote control by BAT. There is no phono board installed, but if interested I am sure BAT can do that. Included is a small tool and extra screws that came originally with the unit. I have the original box and instruction manual and will double box for shipment.
I accept PayPal or check that must clear before shipment.
