Offered today by The Music Room: One phono preamp. This piece was given to me by a member of the Colorado Audio Society. He says it was given to him by a well known contributor to The Absolute Sound... who claimed it was one of the better sounding phono preamps he'd ever heard. I wish I knew more about who built it and technical specs etc. I can only say that I've used it for the past couple of years, and it truly sounds world-class. The separate power supply resembles those that I've seen with some Wilson products. There are 5 small tubes installed.
