Functional Notes: Operational condition of this item is excellent, fully tested and no issues found with the unit. The remote has a spotty adjustment dial. It is noticeable when adjusting the volume, if it is done too quick, it tends to not increase in volume as quickly as the dial on the unit does. Slower, more gradual adjustments work much better.

Other Notes: Please note the adjustment dial on the remote is faulty if it is turned rapidly. If it is turned slowly, it works as intended.

Integrated MM/MC phono stage.

"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." -Spread Spectrum Technologies.
