Paradise MC phono stage for sale.

[Firebottle]

Widely considered to be one of the best Solid State phono stages available, with an extremely low noise floor so suitable for low output MC's.

Usually available in 2 box or 4 box variants this version has been converted to a 1 box with no loss of performance.
This is believed to be a unique example and being one box is more rack friendly.

Hi Firebottle is the same as the multibox dual mono paradise , but all in in one box?

Thanks Gary

[SAP7]

Yes
It’s the same as mine exactly but the psu bit (top left and right in blue and black) is often separated.
The bottom parts are the dual mono boards mirrored left and right.

[Firebottle]

Yes it's a full dual mono build but all in one box.

This is the best Solid state Phonostage ever, according to the DIY community that made it.

£1500 looks very cheap for a unit that has that reputation.

Good luck selling it.

Ive never seen one come up for sale. A rare opportunity indeed. Alan made this so it'll be bombproof and you'll never see another Paradise at that price, ever!

I’ve owned mine since 2014 made for me by Simon Clark it’s the 4 Naim shoe box version, blindingly brilliant. Delicate portrayal of music silent in between tracks, ease of use I could never part with mine.
