I took this preamp on trade, and ran it for a few weeks. It is truly world-class: Inky black background, deep tonal colors, superbly dynamic, extended on both ends. See the fabulous review of another, older Canary preamp from Edward Barker at 6Moons. 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, not yet used). This is a crazy price for any piece of gear of this quality. Even if you're not familiar with the unit, you can rest assured you getting a world-class preamp at a bargain basement price. Reserve is very low. Rating is conservative as it's more like 9/10. I neglected to take a pic of the remote - it's a gorgeous, solid, all-metal unit, like new. 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. C800 Amplifier Features: - Two chassis design with external power supply. - Line stage featuring (4) military grade 6SN7 vacuum tubes. - Matching external power supplly featuring (1) GZ34, (2) 6V6 and (1) 6SL7 vacuum tubes. - Rectifier with double choke filtering (two chokes are employed). - Custom EI power transformer. - Five pair of RCA single-ended inputs and two pairs of RCA single-ended outputs. - 120-step discrete relay attenuator for volume control. - Large, easy-to-read dot matrix LED front panel display. - All aluminum full function remote control.
