For Sale Pearl 2 Preamp from Pass DIY, Complete

Things you have for sale.
I'm letting go of my Pearl 2 phono preamp that has served me well for the past 6 years, built with matched Vishay Dale RN65 resistors. The boards were positioned so as to provide the shortest path to the RCA input connectors.

The preamp and its power supply are housed in Modushop Galaxy chassis with 10mm front panels and connected with a 6' power supply cable and Neutrik Powercon connectors.

The power supply utilizes an AnTek AS-0522 50VA transformer and EPCOS caps.

$300 + shipping, or pickup at an agreed location in the SF Bay area.

Current prices:
Boards and JFETS from Pass DIY, $200
Galaxy chassis, just over $100 + ~$30 shipping for the pair
AS-0522, $20 + shipping
Powercons, ~$16

Thanks all, for your kind words!

When I displayed it in the Pass Room at 2019 BAF Gianluca diplomatically told me that the sides were the wrong side out for optimal cooling. I let him know that it was in fact intentional since it shouldn't generate much heat and that I wanted a cleaner side facing out. 🙂
