Air Tight ATC 3 Preamp

Air Tight ACT 3 preamp. 

Includes 2 complete sets of NOS tubes from Brent Jessee.  One set is a nice Mullard 12AX7 paired with 2 RCA Blacktop 12AU7.  I also have a pair of Clear tops.  The Mullard/Black top setup gives a very balanced tone with a bit of punch on the base and a very clean top.  The other set of tubes is an Amperex 12AX7 paired with 2 very expensive Mazda 12AU7.  This setup is the bomb.  Incredibly well balanced and clean.  Very sophisticated sound.  It is hard to explain but you will know it when you hear it.  All were sound tested and matched.  They only have about 200 or so hours on any of them

Also includes Alps 501 high end potentiometer.  This is the $1,000 upgrade offered by Airtight.  The pot is brand new dealer upgrade with about 400 to 500 hours use.  It is absolutely clean and pure.    Not a single crackle or pop all the way through the attenuation range.

This is an audiophile preamp.  $8,000 of preamp with tubes.  I am offering a very fair price of $3,000.  Add 3% for paypal + shipping.  It comes in the original double box with cords and manual. 

I am calling this 8 of 10 due to age.  The face, sides and top are clean.
