    Default Paradise MC phono stage for sale.

    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.





    Loading sockets are fitted to accommodate different cartridge loading to suit. Signal wiring is UP-OCC wire.

    Thermal management is attained with separate front and rear compartments and appropriate ventilation holes.





    The stage has Calvin buffers fitted and uses Z foil resistors in the RIAA equalisation. The great majority of resistors are Dale.



    The RIAA equalisation is flat response with a gain of 60dB at 1kHz.

    Included are 2 pairs of loading plugs, 100 ohms and 180 ohms.

    Priced at £1500.

    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.

    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 love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    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.

    GLWTS,

    Regards,

    Martin
