21746This beautiful American made valve pre amp. is for sale as I have decided to stick with my Sophia Electric integrated .
I bought the pre from Elite Audio earlier this year and I believe I am its second owner, it comes fully boxed with manual and remote control and is in truly excellent condition . There is one small barely noticeable hairline scratch at the rear of the top plate, other than that it is in mint condition. This is the version 2 model.
I have been really very impressed with the sound and build quality of this amplifier , so much so that I regard it as the best pre amp. I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few.
Everything works as it should , it is very versatile and quite simply is an absolute joy to use and listen too.
I think the new price was something like $4995 and looking at the Herron web site it seems that this model has recently been discontinued - I have no idea why. If you do a search on the internet there are many very favourable reviews to be found.
It uses six 6922 dual triodes which are both easy to source and cheap to replace .
Some more specs. as follows:
multifunctional Remote Control
volume level display 1-100
Unity gain pass through function.
Switchable absolute polarity.
100 step electronic volume control.
Balance control.
Stereo/mono switch.
Mute control.
Display brightness control.
Tape out/in loop.
Low noise design.
Automatic muting at start up and shutdown.
Reversing power line polarity switch.
Gain - 14db.
Dimensions. 18" wide x 3.5" high x 10.5" deep.
Looking for £1100 + postage at cost or preferably it can be collected from post code area LE15. 21742217432174421745
