SOLD
Greetings! I have a Hagerman Clarinet preamplifier for sale. Sold originally as a kit, I purchased it from the builder some years ago. I used it in my main system for a good long while. Sounds great, holographic, smooth yet well detailed mids and highs. It sports 3 inputs and two outputs. In fine condition. Didn't think I'd let it go but I want to go a different direction with my system.
Will come with a pair of Amperex 12AU7's, and a Phillips 5Y3GT rectifier tube. The rectifier has a fancy Herbie's Audio Lab tube damper installed, which I will include.
It was a stock build when I picked it up. I did upgrade it with Sonicaps where appropriate. I also performed a mod that was endorsed by Jim Hagerman that further improves the sound by reducing the noise floor. This mod is detailed here - https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=75735.0
$425 shipped to conus. You may notice in one of the pics that transformer wires are disconnected, this has to be done to remove top cover (which I did to service it). Wires were then reconnected, unit was tested.

$500 shipped to conus. Payment via paypal f&f, or add $20 for goods and services. Mostly set on price. I might lower it in a couple of weeks if it doesn't sell, you could wait for that if you like to gamble.
