A rare opportunity to own one of the greatest preamplifiers of all time! Designed and built by the dream team of John Curl, Carl Thompson & Bob Crump. The design brief was: BUILD THE BEST PREAMP POSSIBLE, without compromise. Each member of the team brought a lifetime of experience in their particular field to the project. The legendary John Curl designed the circuit path and power supply, while Carl Thompson created the optimal board layout from parts fastidiously selected by Bob Crump. Both the control unit and power supply were milled from solid billets of aerospace-grade aluminum.

The legendary John Curl says: "My finest effort."

The units are in excellent condition and have always been meticulously cared for. Rated 8 due to age only. Units will ship triple boxed for maximum protection. Willing to palletize if buyer prefers. Local inspection and/or pick up upon request. Please call Jeff @ 310-251-3686 with any questions.
