Conrad Johnson Premier Fourteen Tube Preamplifier with remote control in very good working and cosmetic condition. 220-240 VAC version  
More from Conrad Johnson:
The Premier Fourteen was the first preamp in the conrad-johnson Premier product line to offer remote control.

The Premier Fourteen introduced conrad-johnson¹s innovative volume control employing a micro-processor to select combinations from an array of metal-foil resistors. This produces a stepped attenuator with 100 steps in approximately .7 dB increments. By controlling the two channels independently, balance can also be adjusted in 0.7 dB steps. Only the highest quality resistors are introduced into the signal path by the level control, resulting in a noticeable improvement in sound quality.

The audio circuit of the Premier Fourteen consists of a single triode amplifier direct coupled to a triode cathode follower. The low output impedance of the cathode follower permits the use of the Premier Fourteen even installations with long, highly capacitive amplifier interconnect cables without attenuation of the high frequency information and without softening transients. A zero feedback circuit ensures temporal accuracy and spatial detail.

The premier Fourteen was selected by many audiophiles and major magazine reviewers for their own personal use due to its superlative handling of musical transients, its dynamic range, and its very wide frequency response. This is the ultimate complement for any piece of high-end audiophile equipment.
 

Questions for the seller
The 14 is a 7 pin tube, correct??
Miniatur-7-Pin-Base B7G Correct. Uses 6GK5 or 6FQ5A tubes which I found to be very transparent with exceptionally good bass detail.
Any idea what the output impedance is?
The manual states: Output impedance: Less than 200 ohms
Hi do you happen to know what the retail price was when new?
I wasn't able to find that information. Their Premier series are so well built that it must have been high. An audiophile friend, who was in the audio business for 40 years, just found one of these and is so happy with it. I am personally having to downsize.
