I am streamlining my system to a high-end integrated amp, so up for sale is my fabulous Musical Design SP-2B tube preamp. This is a wonderful piece of audio gear, and clearly a level beyond the CJ PV-10 I ran for many years. The SP-2B has the expected tube "musicality" but with a level of detail I have rarely heard in anything but solid state preamps or tube units costing far more than this bargain did.
Note that this is an SP-2 which has been factory upgraded to "B" status. The front panel says "SP-2", the back panel says "SP-2B Update". You are welcome to scour the photos and even call John Hillig at the factory for confirmation. I am rating it a conservative 8/10, with a small scratch on the top of the case being the only flaw I can find. Check the photos (as bad as they are) -- it's a beautiful piece of equipment.
Tubes are brand new old stock (NOS) Russian Voskhod 6N23P / E88CC / 6DJ8 from tubes-store.com, and they sound MUCH better than those they replaced.
It is in great shape and peforms flawlessly. Buyer pays shipping and 3% Paypal fee. I will ship worldwide for a $20 surcharge, but not to countries with import restrictions. Buyer must confirm that the unit will work with their local voltage and frequency specifications. Thanks for your interest!
Frequency Response: ±3dB, 0.05Hz to 160KHz
Distortion, THD: less than 0.1%, 20Hz to 20KHz, 2 volts RMS output
Tube Complement: Two 6922 dual triode
Dimensions: 19W x 12D x 3.75H, 20LB.
Questions for the seller |
|---|
| Do you know what year the "B" upgrade was done? I do not. I purchased the preamp off audiogon exactly 3 years ago -- November 19, 2011. It was updated at that time. It's possible that John at Musical Design can tell us, given that I know the name of the person I purchased it from, but no guarantees. |
| HELLO MY NAME IS MATTHEW IM INTERESTED IM A PERSONAL OWNER OF MUSICAL DESIGN GEAR . THE PREAMP IS NICE BUT I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER ON YOUR PRICE NO PHONO , NO OUTBOARD POWER SUPPLY . I WOULD CONSIDERED BUYING THIS UNIT BUT IF YOU CAN DO BETTER . I encourage you to make a reasonable offer if you feel it is overpriced. |
| HELLO SIR MATTHEW I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS UNIT AFTER MY RESEARCH FINDINGS THE BEST I CAN DO IS $400 Your "research" is way off base. Audiogon BlueBook is $668 between private parties.
In other words, "NO" I won't do $400 and "NO" I'm not looking to trade. |
