This NVO SPA-II is just over 3 year old (2012) and has spent its life in a professional couple's home in a smoke free, pet free environment without children. It is in perfect condition. It has very little use, and has been packed in its original box in the storage in the last 2 years. Took it out pre listing and verified all is working in great order.
Comes with all original box, packaging, and instruction manual. Selling due to downsizing our Hi-Fi system for the new house as listening space became small.
Some reviews:
Stereophile 2015 Recommended Component Class A Rating

"...the SPA-II is an all-tube, MC/MM phono preamp with a simple aluminum chassis. It has no step-up transformers, but provides 62dB of gain; MC loading is done with RCA or XLR plugs fitted with resistors. The SPA-II ran very warm but was exceptionally quiet; it produced sweet highs, a warm midrange, and well-controlled, full-bodied bass, said MF. (Vol.36 No.7)"

"...The SPA-II is good, really good, where it counts the most, playing music like one's life depends on it, and in the case of music lovers it does. I'd put on an album, any album, and be blown away by the music."
"... the New Valve Order SPA-II was rich and a bit dark & warm; excelled in reproducing the textures and tonal colors that make up timbre; and performed beautifully on all of the musically meaningful elements like tempo, melody, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics that make music come alive in your listening room."
