    Default Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B Phono Preamp - As New condition, Couple of hours use only.

    As Above.

    Having a clear out of unused gear and Re-Upping my Ad I posted here before.

    Bought this to run a balanced output to my preamp, due to turntable change upgrading to its bigger Brother and putting the S3B up for sale.
    Bought 11 June 2023, as new, all original packing in 100% condition.


    FROM HIFINEWS REVIEW Aug 2022
    "What I heard in balanced mode, even with the record deck delivering a single-ended output, elevates this purchase to four-figure levels."

    STRONG AGREE WITH THIS

    The Project bettered my previous Primare R32 even running unbalanced into my Pre. Using its balanced outputs it was better again.
    Very clear and dynamic sounding phono.

    Absolute godsend not having to faff about with dipswitches, can set loading and gain from front panel.
    Paid £349 for this, selling for £240 delivered UK only.

    Thanks.
    Gaz.
