Classe Audio CP-45

Up for sale is a Classe CP 45 preamplifier. I purchased this recently from an unscrupulous seller who insisted that this unit has a phono stage. Well, alas, it does not. I received it, opened it up, and no phono board in sight. He also told me it would ship with the remote, which it didn’t. So no remote for this. I have found them online for around $15 if you really want one. Now the good stuff. This unit is cosmetically very clean. A few faint feet marks on the top cover which look way more pronounced in the pictures. The nick on the right side edge is the worst of it. Really clean faceplate. This thing really sounds magical. Very smooth and tubelike sound. I paired it with a few different power amps and it’s sounds good with all of them. It has both balanced inputs and outputs as well.
I really enjoy the sound of this preamp, but I really need a phono stage on board.
Again, no phono, no remote.
