Denon HA-500 phono head amp + Zu Audio phono cable

Terrific head amp to step up a moving coil cartridge signal so you can input to a mm phono stage. Built like a tank and a great reviews and following. Switchable 24dB or 36dB gain, or bypass setting for mm cartridge.

Perfect match with a Denon DL-103, but excellent with others as well. I used with a Shelter 501 and Koetsu Black to great effect, but recently changed to a phone pre with an mc stage and decided it sounded very close, and I need the money to help fund a higher level Koetsu. With the Denon and the mm stage of my EAR 834p the bass was tighter and images were more specific. Perfect working condition and very nice cosmetically.

Price is plus shipping and Paypal. At my asking price I will include the pictured Zu Audio phono cable, which sounds great with it.
