I really love this pre-amp, but I am buying a BAT preamp from a friend, and it sounds just a bit richer, and the price is just too low to pass up! I also have tried at least a dozen tubes in this unit, and finally settled on the Siemens 10,000 hr. 12AT7 tubes. The tubes make a huge difference in my opinion, and are better than Telefunken, Bugle Boys, and far better than the Russian tubes. The unit is in good condition, and I will gladly send a photo of the unit. I am asking 500.00 for the unit, and 550.00 for the two additional tubes, which are NOS. I live in California, FYI. My best to you, and I do guarantee this item will be shipped and packed very well!!!!!
This unit does not have phono capability, it was used for a few years, now it is sitting in my closet. I bought it on E-Bay, and it was 14 mos old, when I bought it
