Very rare on used market. Awesome preamp, just have too much gear (have a second one of these preamps).
This makes amazing pairing with PBN amps that I also have for sale. This is the LX model with MPS power supply.
PBN AUDIO PRE-AMPLIFIERS
The Olympia L & Olympia LX Pre-amplifiers are available in Black, Pewter Gray and PBN Gray faceplates
The essential difference between these two pre-amplifiers is that the LX produces about the purest signal in the industry. To do so its power supply incorporates two heavy-duty transformers and eight filtering chokes, far and away a higher standard than most competitive products. We do this is to feed the amplifier circuit the cleanest possible DC voltage. This ensures that you experience music in its purest form.
This is not to say the Olympia L, with only one transformer, produces an inferior sound. Compared to other manufacturers, high-end pre-amplifiers, the L more than holds its own in its support of PBN‚ family of ultra high-end speakers. Both pre-amps literally remove any hint of electronics between the music and the listener.
Our pre-amps are built to drive the most demanding cable/amplifier loads, Noerbaek explains. Without a pre-amp the audio dynamics will suffer. "Just good enough" is not good enough! Quality audio is not so much about what you hear as it is about what you don't hear. This is when signal purity matters. Filtering out pesky shadow sounds that disturb the ears is what it's all about. Noerbaek concludes: "This is when a great pre-amp shines. The road to audio nirvana is not paved with shortcuts."
