Up for sale is my Placette passive preamp.  This is unusual because it is an early model with silkscreened faceplate and handles on the front.  It has 5 single ended inputs and 2 tape inputs and 2 outputs (all single ended).  It is physically larger than the current offerings and Guy at Placette upon finding out I had one of these models offered me full trade in towards a brand new Placette passive preamp.  it is a little marked up on top from stacking components but it sounds wonderful.  It is the best I have heard in my system.  I changed amps and my new monos don't mate well to the Placette so I am after an active design to replace it.  Please Email me if you want pics.  I would like to offer this at $800.00 + shipping.  It is much more versatile than the current offerings.  Thanks for looking.  I have lots of feedback at audiogon and ebay under the name Pugstub.  I accidently knocked the volume knob out of its seated position so I will send it to Placette for repair and checkout and have Guy at Placette forward it on to you after checking it out.

bump for price drop to $850.  This preamp sounds the same as the current lineup but allows for a lot more options with the 2 tape loops and 5 source inputs.  Priced now for quick sale.

Yes it looks like the active unit.  I have pictures of it in my ad on Audiogon.  Just do a search for Placette and you will find it there. 
Thanks for the interest.

Well, it won't last too long as I already have an offer of $750 which I will take if I don't get any higher offers.
