SOLD - Selling my delightful Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp which includes a solid-state phono-stage. Excellent, inexpensive introduction to separates or someone needing its small footprint. Includes all options (upgraded caps, resistors & phono-stage opamps) I've been using it since building in Dec/Jan and it has been terrific. However, I was offered a high-end preamp I've been lusting after for years at a "too good to be true (almost)" price last month and it is just enough better that am selling the Elekit. I purchased new from Victor Kung at VKMusic, the importer/distributor for Elekit and other high-end boutique Japanese audio exotica. Google VKMusic.CA for further links to tons of excellent info and reviews on the DIY forum and elsewhere.
In addition to the Mundorf MCap Supreme SilverGold coupling caps, includes the Takaman resistors & 2227P opamps.
Am also including your choice of a pair of JAN Phillips or Sovtek LPS tubes (both r much better than stock) with the Chinese originals. And, the installed pair of 4562 opamps that I purchased later and find just barely better than the 2227P option. Either have worked great with my MC cartridges.
I was in the process of gathering parts for the installation of the Muse electronic remote control https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap...es-volume.html when the other preamp 'deal' fell into my lap. I will also include the boards & programmed controller/processor chip if the new owner wishes to complete same.
Have been zero issues with the preamp since I started listening to it in early Jan. So good that I haven't bothered tube rolling and only rolled the opamps as a point of interest. There are additional opamps out there to roll should one be interested, including some high-end ones like MUSE01 & Sparkos Labs, who also offers some high-end voltage regulators. Endless fun, should you wish.
Purchaser pays $650 plus actual shipping cost (will ship international) and any Paypal fees.
Thanks.
