An absolute favorite in my stash but I need to thin the herd. I had the preamp upgraded to "Magnum" status by Rogue about a year ago which really opened it up. They also installed the new volume control chip and now the remote is a joy to use. No more huge jumps in volume. Full disclosure: I had issues with rolling tubes PRIOR to having the preamp upgraded by Rogue. Post upgrade - no more problems and the Mullards that are currently installed are the absolute perfect tubes for it (selling separately along with a quad set of NOS Bugle Boys which are fantastic). The preamp is in 8.5/10 condition. Features a phono input and HT Bypass. The remote has a few dings but it really looks great and is solid. This will ship in the bulletproof box Rogue sent me post upgrade.
Everything about it from the design, sound, and build quality is top notch. Mullards are incredible with it. They add that richness and dimension we all want from a tube preamp with out losing any top end extension. Swap in some bugle boys and it's a darker sound that would work great for a brighter setup. I'm selling both of these quad sets separately so let me know if you're interested.
Local pickup in San Diego, CA is warmly welcomed!

And I would love to hear the Pass setup! I have too much going on unfortunately John. I'm listing my Aleph 30 later today as well and it's a damn fine amp. It's the only piece of Nelson's gear that I've owned and it didn't disappoint.

What tubes does this use?"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
