One more from my cupboard: a gorgeous Graaf GM13.5B MkII preamp.
This is a rarely seen, but much sought after, fully valve and fully balanced preamp. This is the one with the newer configuration (2 sets of balanced inputs, 2 sets of balanced outputs, mono sub output) but the older style casing.
Key points:
Loads of inputs and outputs
Low output impedance
2 gain settings - 13dB and 0dB (useful if you have too much gain from your power amp)
Condition and History:
This one has a few scratches on the top panel, and some signs of ageing around the volume knob and the On button. I had to have a couple of the valves replaced by a local tech. It came second-hand from Definitive Audio in November 2014 with Jan Philips valves installed and the two that my tech put in are Electro-Harmonix Russian jobs. It would probably benefit from some better quality valves, I think. Still sounds great though. Comes with original box and manual.
Price:
£1550 / €1750 including shipping from Portugal (where I live) to anywhere in the EU.
