Original Owner of this very nice phono stage preamp. The Stealth has had the Magnum upgrades and also sports the AD797 op-amps. The Stealth is in very good cosmetic condition with a small mark on the top edge of the faceplate, still very presentable. I'd give it a solid 8/10.
The Stealth is very versatile and will accommodate about any cartridge, I had it paired with a SoundSmith VPI Zephyr with great results. I've moved into a Rogue Audio Ares phono pre, the Ares does not better the Stealth by a huge amount, but I still need to find it a new home.
I have the original inner carton for the unit, but not the outer. The unit will double boxed and over packed to insure safe transit.
A few specs that does not include the Magnum Upgrades:
Moving magnet (mm) or Moving coil (mc) operation
- High performance op amp circuit topology
- Precise RIAA equalization
- Massive fully regulated power supply
- Toroidal transformer
- Internal settings for 100, 300, 1000 and 47k Ohm loading
- Internal setting for 150 Picofared or 0 capacitance loading
- Four gain settings: 40dB, 50dB, 60dB, 65dB
- Ultra heavy-duty gold RCA inputs
- Precision components throughout
- Heavy machined aluminum faceplate
- Two heavy (2 ounce) copper circuit boards
- Teflon/silver plated hook-up wire
- Detachable IEC power cord
- Entirely designed and built in the USA
I have this listed elsewhere also, Club Polk members price is $585.00, UPS Ground Shipping and PayPal fees included. $585.00 to your door.
