Spread Spectrum Technologies Ambrosia Second Edition with Phono stage

Up for sale is my Spread Spectrum Technologies Ambrosia 2000 Second Edition preamplifier. 

James Bongiorno always gave you a lot of bang for your buck and this preamp is no exception.

The preamp has a phono section (MM & MC), a large number of inputs, as well as two tape loops. It also has tone controls. It has a really cool remote control with a rotary dial.

Please download the manual from the Spread Spectrum Technologies website to read more about all of its features. 

I bought this back in 2018 and have run it since then without any problems.

I upgraded to a Gryphon Pandora so I no longer need this preamp. 

New, the Ambrosia Second Edition currently sells for $10k.

Please see my other listing of a Son of Ampzilla II amplifier.

From the Spread Spectrum Technologies website: 

"am·bro·sia am-ˈbrō-zh(ē-)ə The food of the Greek and Roman gods, something extremely pleasing to taste or smell or, in this case, to hear.

The Ambrosia 2000 Second Edition preamplifier is a brilliant example of what a reference, full-featured, stereo preamplifier can be. This fully-balanced system nucleus features giant power supplies, an optional MM/MC phono stage, headphone amplifier, tone and balance controls and an ingenious remote control. Some recent improvements include redesigned internals for improved stability, lower noise and a new home theater bypass function.

There are no physical switches or controls of any kind in the signal path; the user interface is all electronic and galvanically isolated from the audio circuit. All functions are 100% microprocessor controlled and can be controlled from both the front panel as well as the remote control.

At 50 pounds, the Ambrosia outweighs many power amplifiers! Most of the weight is due to the huge low-EMI power transformer. It features four secondary windings that power each circuit section independently, and in the process, eliminate ground loops. In addition, 15 independent power supply regulators are employed throughout for immunity against AC mains fluctuations. Every attention to detail and function contributes to the final, undeniable conclusion: The Ambrosia is a sonic tour-de-force befitting the finest audio systems."
