This is the well reviewed Monk-Audio Phono Preamplifier ($3500 Retail) with Red Wine Audio Black Lightning Battery Power Supply ($1200). It is in excellent condition and dead quiet. It has great "on the fly" adjustability and most experts call it a giant killer. ---WEBSITE INFO--- Monk-Audio Phono Preamplifier A preamplifier in a class for the friends of the authentic listening pleasure is now finally available. Uncompromising in manufacturing and classic in design, ensure selected components for listening pleasure. Now it is again possible to the original sound of your vinyl baby to listen without equalizer or digital equalizer. Five fixed set equalization curves make it possible to reproduce the most important record label of the 50s original. Decca and Columbia are included as well as EMI and the early American LPs, such as RCA, which were cut even after NAB or NARTB standard. Of course, the playback after the RIAA standard is possible. The universality and usability was from the beginning in the specifications. The developers of MONK-AUDIO are proud of the high level of flexibility and uncompromising neutral reproduction of their phono preamplifier. Three inputs, a two-stage adjustable overall gain, comprehensive adjustments for MM systems, built-in, any time switchable MC input transformers, the possibilities stereo and play back monaural and, in special cases, the sole representation of the inner or outer groove flank, make the phono preamp for the ambitious Listeners indispensable. The preamplifier is built up continuously and consistently in classical discrete circuitry. The MC input transformers are manufactured specifically for MONK-AUDIO. Along with gold-plated RCA jacks and selected components from renowned manufacturers this ensures a long-term stable and reliable operation. TECHN. DATA
