Vacuum State SVP-2 Tube Preamp

This tube preamp is in absolutely perfect condition, with little use in my second home, used in a non-smoking, child free environment and including the original 6 Electro Harmonix E88CC tubes with minimal hours. Includes MM and MC Phono.

Power supply is switchable between 115V and 230V.

The Vacuum State SVP-2 provides an exceptional level of sonic performance in a full function single chassis preamplifier any music lover will immediatly crave to own upon first and long term listening. The musicality that this unit exhibits makes it something very, very special. Literally transcending the typical adjectives used to describe great sound. Listeners regularly comment on it's extraordinary window to the music and realistic imaging that captures the integrity and essence of original recordings.

The SVP-2 (Six Valve Preamp) preamp is the end result of a 30 year development path by its builder to build a sonically ultimate unbalanced tube preamp. Read reviews of Vacuum State products, they're all top notch.



Review of the SVP2, by Roy Gregory (Hi-FI+): "Of course, there are plenty of (far more impressive looking) valve preamps out there, boasting lusciously warm tonal colours and thunderous dynamics. But the SVP-2 is in a class apart from the majority of them. Essentially neutral, it achieves a remarkable level of balance and musical coherence. It's sense of flow and expressive range rests on its timbral and textural continuity, its overall control of the musical bandwidth as a whole. That's what allows it to go slow as well as fast, to give performers a physical presence without resorting to cranking up the second order harmonics - and slugging the dynamics and immediacy as a result. This coherence and innate sense of stability also allow the Vacuum State to make the most of differences between formats; SACD's superiority over red-book discs is manifest, but vinyl still rules the roost ... Looking for shortcomings you'll need to compare the SVP-2 to the very best (and most expensive units) out there ..." - Roy Gregory, Hi-Fi+ Magazine, Issue 60
