Elloitt Studio Arts 66-001b Elliott Balanced tube stereo line preamp

Hello, This listing is for a Elliott Studio Arts model 66-001b balances tube preamp. It is in perfect working condition and is in excellent cosmetic condition aside from one very tiny ding on the preamp faceplate edge that happened after the photos were taken. I have ordered a brand new replacement faceplate from Elliott and the new owner can replace the old faceplate with the brand new faceplate. This model does not have a phono stage. Winning bid to pay all paypal fees. Some info from the Elliott Studio arts website below.
Now available, this preamplifier has features not found on many high-end minimalist products; like balance, mute, true summing mono and headphone output. The headphone output is tapped off the output transformer and drives low and medium impedance headphones wonderfully. The sound has rock-solid bass, smooth liquid midrange and detailed extended highs. Everything you would expect from a tube preamp with the bass control and extension of solid state.

The line stage is two sections. First a medium gain amplifier that has a low output impedance for driving the volume and balance controls. This isolates the sources from fluctuating input impedance and frequency response relative to the volume control setting. The second stage amplifier is also medium gain and drives an output transformer that knocks the overall gain down to a reasonable level for driving an amplifier for an overall gain of 14dB.

Many preamps will output up to 20 volts peak to peak which is way more than most amplifiers need for full output. But vacuum tubes are high-gain devices and need to breath. The 66-001 lets the tubes live their at high-gain operating points while the output transformer lowers the output gain via the turns ratio from primary to secondary. This gives the advantage of lower noise floor, lower gain and lower output impedance for rock-solid drive; the output impedance is less than 10 ohms- it will drive any power amp, tube or solid state, over long interconnects with no high frequency losses. For those with low sensitivity speakers the output can be wired for 20dB of gain.
