FS. MasterSound PHL5 Preamp.
Having really enjoyed the Preamp for 3 1/2 yrs, it is now for sale following my acquisition of an MFA Baby Reference (having had a brainfart and asking The Flash to send me his one for audition).
This really is a superb Pre, as those who've heard it at my BOs will attest, neutral and transparent, I would say its easily on par with an ARC LS26.
I'm the 3rd owner (Bourney > Tony Whittle > me) and neither Simon or Tony are known for entertaining shite kit.
It's in superb condition just a few lite polishing swirls to the piano gloss black and stainless steel top plate. Even the remote (volume only) is piano black gloss wood.

Money may not make me happy.
