For Sale: Electrocompaniet EC4.5 fully balanced preamp

I've got one of these lovely preamps surplus to requirements. Bought as NOS from a retired dealer who had it in storage for years. The remote was still sealed when I got it! There's a mark on the top part of the case but otherwise it's in superb condition.

This pre apparently has a bit of a cult following in Scandinavia, where it's quite sought after and thought to sound better than the subsequent Electro pres.

It sounded excellent in my system, the only drawback is that it has only 2 line-level inputs - one balanced, and one RCA. Switching between the inputs is via a front panel push-button, while volume and balance are controlled via the remote. I can throw in an RCA switch box if this is needed. I also have a pair of -20db XLR attenuators that I found made the range of the volume control more usable with my Meridian power amp; I can include these as well if needed.
