Go here for details, this preamp needs no introduction:
http://www.placetteaudio.com/remote_control.htm
http://www.stereophile.com/amplificationreviews/604placette/
Sans some dust, the unit is MINT. I've owned it for about 8 months, I am the original owner, it was set in place and never moved. You'll get:
1) Placette RVC passive preamp
2) All original packing/manuals/remote/walwart
If you are a stickler for "from the studio" sound, here's your preamp. You won't believe how much your preamp was doing "wrong" until you try this. This is a totally passive pre, do your research before you buy as far as impedance matching, etc. I have had no problems with my equipment--everything easily plays to full volume.
I BS you not on what this unit does; it has to heard to be appreciated. Complete neutrality and a solidly locked center stage. There's a reason it sells for $1000 new. If you have a dedicated 2-channel setup with 1 main source--this piece is nirvana, period. In 35 years of hi-fi listening, this is the best, most tonally linear preamp I have ever owned.
This unit has 1 input, and 1 output. I currently have 3 sources running to my DAC, and then the DAC to the Placette. This arrangement works very well.
$875 firm + shipping (shipping should be cheap, the unit is very light)
Money order or *check (*check from members of my choosing ONLY). I reserve the right to sell to whom I choose. Don't send offers--if this doesn't sell at the price above, it won't be sold.
Why am I selling? It's time to get my tube on. I'm thinkin Prima Luna. More details later....:D
