Classe Audio CP-500

Selling my Classe Audio CP-500 which had been paired with Classe C-M400 monoblocks all running in balanced mode. The preamp has performed flawlessly for years and I hope someone will find it a good home. Everything works, included is the original box and remote - but I don't have the manual or original power cable, sorry (available online at support.classeaudio.com) . I think you will have to look hard to find cosmetic flaws - I am sure there are some but I just cleaned it (oops, see a finger print when I photoed it) before putting it away in the Factory original box. Mute button is there for those keen eyed observers
Here are some specs:

The fully balanced Delta CP-500 ($3500 USD) is a large -- 17 1/2"W x 4 3/4"H x and 16 1/2"D -- and relatively heavy -- 26 pounds -- single-box preamp with a clean, sleek, utterly modern look due to its softly curved corners and lack of most external controls. The front panel has only flush-mounted standby/operate and mute switches, a traditional volume knob, and the touch screen through which most of the CP-500's functions are accessed. The feature set of the CP-500 is controlled by software, which gives the preamp flexibility that most of the competition cannot duplicate. Four single-ended and two balanced inputs along with single-ended and balanced outputs are supported. Via the CP-500's software interface, each input can be renamed, adjusted so that the connected source will have the same volume level as others by default, and even turned off so that it doesn't show up for use. Other notable features include (but are in no way limited to) the ability to assign function keys for accessing features that are nested within the CP-500's menus and a sensor option that indicates the CP-500's operating temperature and the voltage of the power line to which the preamp is connected. All of this can be accessed from the touch screen or the remote control, whose backlit buttons match the background color of the CP-500's display -- a cool cornflower blue.

Around back you'll find the various inputs and outputs, the master on/off switch, and two special features: an RS-232 port for software updates as well as connection to I-Command, AMX and Crestron systems; and Controller Area Network (CAN) control ports for future application with other Classé products. An internal MM/MC phono module is an option.
