Built in 1992 this is a series one version but was sent back in 2012 for new electrolytic capacitors and now sports the dual ladder attenuator with resistors so it is now close to a model 2.In very good shape, top has some bubbling of the paint and some small chips along the side. It looks fine just being cautious, in a rack it looks just fine. Has the gold knobs , a 600 dollar option! (crazy if you ask me) Completely dual mono, dual volume controls , dual mutes, and dual selector switch.
Volume control is a joy to use, very few preamps sport such a high end volume control, and the feel is amazing. Typical First Sound sound, big deep and spacious, super black background with THE best bass I ever heard from a tube preamp, tremendous drive and dynamics. I won't be the shameless salesman here, read the reviews ask around what this preamp is and what it does. If you are reading this then you probably already know what this is.
