Excellent valve pre - uses 3x ecc82.
An improved version of the famed Transcendent Grounded Grid pre-amp - this pre has a DACT 24 step attenuator and uprated transformer.
Nice simple circuit - no frills, just great quality!
See http://www.transcendentsound.com/Transcendent/Transcendent_Sound_Grounded_Grid_Preamp.html
and a review here http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/todd23.htm
This really is a transparent and dynamic pre-amp! ... I'm sure the DACT attenuator helps a lot with that, so you can expect to hear even better quality than they heard in the review! ;)
Provides aup to 13dB of gain, I believe. Or maybe 20dB ... mmmm, not sure! Enough anyway. :)
3 stereo RCA inputs, 1 stereo output.
Some light marks to the top panel, otherwise A1.
£250 delivered, which is what it cost me.

So why am I selling? - I knew some folks would ask that. :eyebrows:
Well, a) I like to try different things (as many folks here know! I'm :mental:), b) I've been trying quite a few pre-amps recently and have decided that solid state is probably the way to go with my choice of power amp and speakers.
But if you don't try these things, how do you know? :)
