2 year old Bottlehead phono stage w/constant current source (C4S) upgrade, a matched pair of NOS Russian military surplus 6N23P-EB tubes, Dale input resistors and Dynamicap-E coupling and output caps. As a bonus, it comes with Herbie's tendersoft feet and Herbie's tube dampers, and a spare pair of new production, NIB Electro Harmonix 6922's.
The Russian tubes (the 6N23P-EB's, that is) have tighter bass, more midrange sweetness and treble extension without glare than the NOS Amperex orange labels they replaced. The unit is in very good condition. I've been using it with a Denon 103-R and a 1:18 step-up transformer; it's difficult to beat that combination for the money.FOR A LIMITED TIME, a package deal: this classic Bottlehead phono amp and Wojciech's fine homebrew Cinemag 3440A step-up transformer (also listed here) for for $425.00. Happy Memorial Day.
