I have a DNM Primus 3B in mint condition. It just came back from the factory for check and update. I have the receipt about was has being done.
It has a Phono MC input and 3 line inputs.
This one was manufactured in Switzerland. One of the finest preamps ever build.
I would like to get 1200,- € incl. shipping.

Very nice.
Denis Moorcroft told me that the differences between the 3B and 3C were minor, slight revision (when I bought a reconditioned 3B from him some time ago). Didn't say what they were or I've forgotten if he did.

I learned a lot from Denis and this preamp sounds very good. I only sell it because i make my own since several years so i do not use it any more. Maybe i keep it.
Denis is a master of the delicate and detail with his designs. The poweramps gave me a shock when I first heard a PA1 - sounded so much more powerful and in control compared to the much more powerfully specified mono blocks I'd been using previously.
The DNMs are always beautiful to look at in an electronics point of view but if you're not currently using it because of your own designs then might as well put it up there for sale, see what happens.
Another snipit of info on this 3B is that it can be run with a pseudo-balanced output (in order to work with the PA2 monoblocks). I think that means the signal ground is floating? There are a few jumpers to change in order to do that. That's why I had mine for a while, with some PA2s.
Then I went active for a while so moved on.
I have a 3A Twin at the moment which should also be easy to convert to a six myself at some point but it suffers from input sensitivity to CD output levels - which was solved by the time of the 3B.

I would like to mention that the preamp just came back from the original manufacturer, fully restored and functional as new.
We can send the update receipt.
