This is a Bottlehead Foreplay 2 wired for 6.3 volt filament heaters. The FP2 is still believed by many to be the best Bottlehead preamp design. This one was carefully built in a 12x10x2 steel powder coated cabinet. Although the preamp was wired to original specs it has some significant upgrades. The capacitors and resistors are upgrades and the preamp was wired with silver coated OFC copper wire. The pre has a silver contact selector and a 50K Alps dampened volume control. The front panel is solid walnut finished with 4 coats of satin poly. The chassis cover has a layer of vibration damper on the inside. The rear jack panel has 3 sets of inputs and one set of outputs. All jacks are high quality gold plated. The control knobs are solid aluminum black anodized and the case has 4 new rubber isolation feet. The tubes included are a very quiet NOS set of 12au7/5963. The pre is wired for 12au7 variants. This preamp is very well built and sounds wonderful. It is very quiet and the tubes are extremely nice. It will embarrass may tube preamps that cost many times what you will pay for this one. I still use one in in my 2 systems with both tube and SS amplifiers. Tubes very easily changed so it is very tube roller friendly. US sale only. Will sell to an out of country buyer but I will only ship to a continental US address. I will ship anywhere in the continental US for $15.00. Thanks.
