Audio Valve Eclipse Tube Line Stage Wonderfully Transparent

This is an exceptionally nice sounding and beautiful looking line stage with a lot of functionality (t has 7 stereo RCA inputs, 2 pairs of RCA outputs and 1 pair of XLR outputs). I have used it with Audio Valve’s power amplification and several other tube and transistor amplifiers and the result are always superb in both balance and SE modes. There is a rightness and musical believability about what this this preamp puts out. Paired with Audio Valve’s amplification there definitely seems to be additional synergy – but in my experience it sounds just great with any combination.
The Eclipse is a “tube rollers” dream, the stock Harmonix tubes are great, this unit comes with RCAAU7As add NOS tubes like the RCA Clear Top and you would get an even higher level performance.
I bought this unit in 2012 from a speaker manufacturer who was using it to tune his speakers because it provided transparency and flexibility. I have not put more than 50 hours on the new tubes that it was shipped to me with. Overall the unit is in excellent condition, with no marks I can see and only rated 8/10 as I am the second owner. I do not have the original carton as I have no room to store it – but the unit will be packaged professionally and insured to arrive safely.
