Parks Audio Budgie Phono Pre-Amp

Parks Budgie Class A Tube Phono Pre Amp
The  Parks Budgie was certainly headed for tube gear cult status even before it was discontinued in 2018 . Rarely comes for up for sale, nobody wants to part with theirs.
This was the best sounding Phono Pre amp Ive owned less than $1500.00

Comes with original EH6922 tubes as supplied by Parks Audio
I
rolled some tubes the first month or two , and still have a matched and
tested pair of Sylvania 6922's available for purchase separately. They
were purchased from Arizona Tube Supply.  I paid about $ 80 for the pair
and will include in this offering for for an additional $50.00

The
preamp is in perfect operating and cosmetic condition, and has seen
very little use about 50 hours. Im sorry to sell but moving out of
country and cant take my Audio Equipment.
The Item is also listed in Ebay and will close this listing when sold
