    Nice looking preamp there. I like the balanced inputs/outputs feature.

    This is an excellent preamp. For those who don't know, this preamp combines the smooth musicality of a Dodd Battery powered pre and the bass authority and neutrality of a BAT VK 3ix SE. The unit itself is a passive hybrid which stays passive unless you are getting really crazy and your volume demands need an extra kick. This is one of my all time favorite pres. For the money, it is hard to beat. It says quite a bit that people often compare this pre-amp to the Esoteric C-03 Passive Preamp which costs a "bazillion" more. This pre is built tough as nails and has a very smart remote interface. Good luck on the sale.

    Both of mine would agree.

    Here are some reviews: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/wyred2/preamp.html and http://www.affordableaudio.org/aa2009-10.pdf

    I'm interested. It will replace a PS Audio GCP.

    The PS Audio GCP was made by Cullen Circuits, same guys who founded Wyred4Sound. The STP SE will be a step up from the GCP for sure.

    SOLD - I switched to using my Wyred DAC-2 as a pre-amp and it doesn't come close to the STP-SE.
