An outstanding phonostage that deserves its reputation.
I bought this in May last year and had it sent straight to Graham Tricker, for him to check and service. This resulted in a couple of things being changed/adjusted and new valves, bringing the unit up to near as damn it 2018 spec (when he stopped the Seven series and went to Atlantic series).
Only selling as changes in the system after I bought it meant it ended up not giving me the sonic flavour I preferred.
I didn't realise the problem initially (to many changes to quickly) but it was mainly the change from a valve pre to the MFA passive.
The TSU, is very neutral and transparent, however I have discovered this type of sound is not for me, I prefer a rich, warm (some would say coloured) sound, and it's to bloody good to be used as a doorstop.
2 inputs
Switchable for mm & mc
Can also be sent to GT, who can remove the mm option and instead change it to 2 switchable gains/loads.
As this is quite an investment for some I'm willing to entertain the prospect of an audition for serious buyers, however you cover the postage costs. If you buy it I will deduct it from the purchase price.
Included:
Tron double box
Maual
Service paperwork
Original kettle lead.
£3,700 delivered.
Sensible offers also considered. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210108/a2638b19d4e05f9be280b1ed4b985154.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210108/b013b57d56edd4293e8c91b2218f80d4.jpg
