Canary C2000 Reference Tube Preamp

Reluctantly presented here for sale is my new Canary C2000 Preamp. The rack I am using simply will not accept this 4 box preamp. The C2000 is Canary’s third and final version of this preamp and by far is the best one.

It does everything right, mostly conveying a magical sense of a musical event drawing the listener into the music. The bass is well controlled, loads of sweet mid-range detail with a smooth articulated top end.
The unit has about 500 hours on it and is just beginning to break-in. The C2000 is Canary’s newest reference grade preamplifier featuring the use of twelve vacuum tubes. The Dual Mono four chassis design (left and right channel fully separated) with matching external power supplies further guarantees interference-free performance.

The C2000 is specially designed for pure high-end audiophiles who want nothing but the best. With the use of highest quality parts and components, the C2000 is simply the best preamplifier that Canary has ever built. To insure the absolute best performance possible Canary does not utilize a remote control nor a muting circuit. This insures the most pure signal path possible
