Sutherland Engineering Insight Phono Pre

This is a great audiophile phono preamp designed by the legendary Ron Sutherland, and for years has been the entry point into his line. It has a beautiful, minimalistic appearance, and sounds incredibly musical. I purchased it in June 2013 for the list price of $1400, and it has been in my stereo rack until recently. I have decided to transition to all digital, so this unit needs a new home.

Gain can be adjusted over 40 dB - 60 dB, and cartridge loading from 100 ohm - 47k ohm, so it accommodates MM and MC cartridges.

It looks virtually new, and comes with the original packaging.

From the manual:
Although not expensive by high end standards, the Insight is a combination of solid, thoughtful engineering - with an artisanal attention to every design decision. Every detail matters; good enough is NOT good enough. All the areas of performance, aesthetics, reliability, circuit design, circuit board layout, parts selection, packaging --- ALL of those aspects must seamlessly dovetail into one expression. For those with a taste for understated elegance, the Insight will deliver an enduring pride of ownership.
The physical artistry is a means to solid, reliable, musicality. There is no affectation. Just a simple, pure link to your recorded treasures. It faithfully delivers musical joy, year after year.
