EMIA Phono Stage w/ Custom Slagle Nickel Output Transformers - Rare and Incredible Sounding

Selling my beloved EMIA phono stage with the rare Slagle Nickel OPTs. This unit just slays, not much more to say. Detail, tone, PRaT - it's got it all. I am slowly selling off my analog gear so sadly this great phono stage must go. It came from Dave and Jeffrey as you see it - without the EMIA faceplates, as they never officially offered this version with the output transformers for sale, no footers on either the RIAA or Power units, and still with the tape  confirming both units had been tested. A little bit of history, so I left the tape on. Industrial aesthetic, to be sure, but all that really matters is what's inside. This uses two pairs of tubes in the RIAA unit - one pair of tubes in the 6J11 family (7788/e810F, 7721/D3a, 7722/E280F, 6688/E180F, 6E6P) and one pair of 12B4s. Also one pair of 6DA4/6DM4 in the power unit. Silver RCA connectors. Input for cartridge loading with custom resister modules that EMIA makes. They also happen to make the best SUTs on the planet if you have an MC cart. Please note there is a hairline scratch on one of the units that I tried to capture. Also the mesh on the umbilical power cord has come loose at its base. I was tempted to just remove all of it as it's totally unnecessary but I'll leave that up to you. AS A BONUS - please note that this will come with all the tubes you will ever need to customize your sound. Please see pictures for details. But also please note - these tubes are considered a GIFT and therefore NOT GUARANTEED. However I will say that I went a little insane when I first got the phono stage and bought all these amazing tubes and have not really used them very much so there should be tons of life in them, except maybe for the D3as. There is over $1000 in tubes represented here!!! Buyer to pay shipping and fees. Cheers and thanks for looking.
