This is a nearly-new, nearly-mint example of this reference-level preamplifier from Canary Audio. Factory packing, manual, remote, and a $370 set of premium NOS tubes from Brent Jesse (receipt included).
I took it on trade for some speakers, and have drastically scaled-back my involvement in the hobby (I'm using an integrated amp), so am selling it.
Rating is conservative as it's more like 9/10.
The first photo is stock (obviously). I will completely unpack the units and take more photos if I don't have a sale within a couple months. You can trust my feedback.
Full specs and info from the Canary website (note that their site has a typo and refers to the preamp as the "C8000" in one spot. From the site:
"Two Chassis Design:
The C800 stereo preamplifier employs an advanced circuitry and high quality components to provide outstanding musical reproduction of your favorite music. Featuring an external power supply in a separate chassis to avoid undesirable electro-magnetic interference with the line stage.
Like our other products, the C800 is engineered and built to provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment. The circuitry components used in the C800 are carefully chosen and hand soldered on the military grade epoxy circuit boards. Even the DC power cable used to connect the line stage with the power supply was hand built by our engineers to meet our standard.
