Class A tubed preamp.  Can use each of

I am first owner, purchased a year and half ago, no smoke or pets, pristine condition
inside and out. Have original packing and manual. List $11,950 sell for $6,500.Plus I have 1979 Russian
Reflector supertube 6H30 (very rare and much better than mid 1980 or later) matched pair tested as new available for rolling worth $1,200 that I will throw in free

Zero-feedback, pure tube circuit design with tube rectified power supply, reveals
music with utmost transparency while projecting a deep/wide holographic
soundstage. Bass is extended, precise, and powerful, its midrange pure, liquid,
and permeated with natural warmth, while the top is clean and finely detailed. Extremely
good micro and macro dynamics, no etch and dead quiet even with highly
revealing speakers. Reviewers describe as sound analogue, and on par with $60,000 stack.  I compared its DAC and preamp to many expensive separates
and much preferred the CD35 to all other combinations. Truly no need for separate
preamp.
