Hi all.
Here, I have a lovely preamplifier, the Ranvoice RV-1020. It's a really nice and unique bit of kit, using EL84 valves and vintage components.
The sound from this preampifer is really nice. It's not harsh and has a very nice valve-like feel to it. A little like Croft gear but with more ease yet just as dynamic.
This preamp uses x2 EL84s and x1 ECC88 which is quite unique for a preamp.
These currently retail for around £1200 from Ranvoice to whom is based in Ukraine.
It comes with a very nice outboard ultra linear power supply and remote control.
The separate power supply is connected to the preamp with a very nice and chunky umbilical Cable with ring fasteners.
The build quality is nice too, and it certainly weighs quite a bit.
It has a slight click around volume 65 but I seriously doubt anyone would ever get near it at listening volume.
Ranvoice has issued a fix for this and it's apparently a simple job to do but I've just not got around to doing it.
It might need a new ECC88 as it might be a little microphonic. Simple replacement job.
I'm asking £450 (open to offers) for this beauty which includes standard UK postage via Royal Mail.
This is a really nice preamp and needs another good home.
PayPal gift would be fine.
Thanks
