Handmade passive LDR (light dependent resistor) preamp / attenuator with remote - near new - superb and free shipping

This unit was very recently hand-built for me by master light dependent resistor (LDR) preamp designer / builder Chris Daly, who owns and operates "Stereo Coffee" in New Zealand. I received it last week (2/25/15) and it is, without a doubt, the most neutral and revealing preamp I have ever used...it's really not even a preamp, as such, but rather a passive attenuator that employs no mechanical switches or relays. With no such interface points, the signal is entirely uncolored and uncompromised; If you want to truly listen to the source with no sonic signature imparted by your volume control device, LDR's are the solution.

2 pair of RCA inputs, 1 pair of RCA outputs, keychain style remote control (volume only) whereby "A" lowers and "B" raises volume, push-button input selection on fascia, and power cord...very basic, but completely excellent. It is in the PRECISE condition in which it arrived to me last week; that is to say, DIY-ish in its appearance with some minor 'swirls' on the brushed aluminum faceplate.

Only reason for sale is an unexpected switch from brutish solid state amplification to a very low-power SET arrangement for which the LDR provides slightly insufficient gain. I also have a ridiculous abundance of gear (see my other ads) and mounting bills. Otherwise I would hold onto this one for sure.

Sale includes insured ground shipping to any Lower 48 street address (no PO boxes). I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my abilities. Thank you for looking.
