I think most of you guys know what an excellent value the Eastern Electric MiniMax tube preamp is. This is the most recent upgraded model with 4 inputs, better parts, etc. These retail for $1,100 (which is an excellent deal even at that price). Selling mine for $750 including shipping in the 48 states and the paypal fee.
The Minimax Preamp is a 6 moons "Blue Moon Award Winner" :
"Within seconds it was obvious that the MiniMax was painting a big, very full and rich sonic picture. Just as apparent was the sense of great clarity. Whether the clarity was due to the point-to-point wiring and direct coupling of the stages or excellent signal to noise ratio was not clear to me - ha! There was a sense of warmth and size that was suggestive of an excellent seat in a relatively small concert hall (for classical music recordings) with fine acoustics. In the higher frequency range the usual little annoyances of a bit of harshness or edgy distortions were somehow smoothed over to a certain extent. Further meditation led me to believe that the MiniMax was simply not adding to or exaggerating these higher frequencies. Tonal balance could then be described as beautifully full with a seductive richness that made listening a relaxing and enjoyable."
