Canary Audio C1600 Stunning Canary C1600 Tube Pre-Amp - one of the world's best

Stunning Canary C1600 Stereo Line Level Tube Pre-amp, with recent new tubes. This is one of the world's greatest pre-amps, in mint condition. It is a 2-box amp - power supply and control unit - with a proprietary cable between the two (you only need one power cable).

If you're not familiar with Canary products, they're hand-built in California and are also very highly sought after in Europe and Asia. I could try and describe the extraordinary sound of this pre-amp, but this review does it much better!

It's been in my rack ever since I bought it, in a smoke-free, pet-free and kid-free home.  This the US 120v version. It comes with the manual, the power cable to connect the two boxes and a US power cord. It retails at $14,000 and they often sell second-hand for $7000. I bought it direct from Canary in May 2016, and I'm asking just $4995. I can demo in Los Angeles to serious buyers only, please.

Shipping is free to the US Lower 48. All others please contact me for costs.
