Selling this preamp, it’s in great condition and sounds pretty nice, $180 plus shipping.
Description from Parasound:
A uniquely cost-effective preamplifier that doesn't compromise your music. A massive power supply for deeper, cleaner bass and better dynamics. The fact that it's direct coupled for the cleanest possible signal and has five inputs-including a clean RIAA phono stage for your turntable-makes this a value that's hard to beat.
FEATURES
Four high level inputs, one phono input
Direct coupled output
100% pure Class A circuitry
19,000 µF power supply
Premium Alps and Noble volume and balance controls
Silver plated OFC internal wiring
Smooth sounding Analog Devices operational amps
Defeatable tone controls
Accurate RIAA curve for phono stage
Tiffany-style gold plated RCA jacks
Removable IEC AC cord

Yes, it’s a well thought sweet sounding classic 2 channel amp. Very well built, has a couple hand full of the now mythical Black Gate capacitors. Selling because I just got is big brother the pld2000
