Black Ice Audio ( Jolida ) Fusion F360 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier Valve With SSX
U.K. 230v version.
Condition is lightly used. My personal unit as you may have seen the new one listed as well (I have two).
Been using this with a balanced power amp for a few months to get good effect. However I’ve gone back to an integrated 300B amp to run with my J’s.
Same spec as the new one (details below) other than some minor tweaks being:
1) Furutech Gold IEC added with a HiFi Tuning Supreme fuse
2) Added a NOS valve
3) Chassis dampening as seen in the photos.
Maybe 400 hours use - no more, possibly less. Original packaging.
A very special tube preamplifier designed by Jim Fosgate with tone and dimension controls - has the SSX Sound Expander built in. Plus rear rca outputs.
Remote volume control.
When the EQ is on Bypass, this preamp creates a perfect square wave (and uses no negative feedback).
Jim Fosgate uses an upgrade to the classic Cascode circuit design and adds a mosfet which gives the musical performance of tubes but with the speed and detail of current solid state designs.
So the design is a HYBRID - valve and solid state mix to fix issues of buffering the signal, controlling high and low frequencies, focusing or expanding a 3D image and rear outputs for the option of creating an analog surround system (or a false ambience to expand what can be perceived as the actual location of the recording)
The 360 offers both XLR and RCA inputs and outputs as well as outputs for a mono or stereo subwoofer.
It also has a full tape loop for external components or a legacy tape deck.
And for those who want to go even further there is a set of outputs for rear stereo speakers (volume setting can be set and then controlled via the main volume pot).
Gain is 10dB
Max output voltage: 13V RMS front channels, 8.5V RMS back and sub channels.
£1100 incl U.K. post. Retail in £2k.
