Bent Audio TAP-X

Bent Audio / Music First Audio, full-function TVC passive preamplifier. Original owner. This is the deluxe 6-input version with both RCA and XLR inputs and outputs. See specifications below. Purchased directly from John Chapman of Bent Audio in Canada. Perfect condition, absolutely Mint mostly due to the fact I kept it as a "collection" piece and never used it. Unit is constructed using a beautiful see-through acrylic bottom base, as seen in the photos. Comes complete with full-function remote control for Volume, Balance, Input Selection, Mute, Phase, Display. For this preamp John Chapman upgraded the RCA inputs/outputs with NEXTGEN WBT RCAs during its construction, which cost extra above the standard unit price (see photos). The TAP-X uses the finest S&B (Stevens & Billington) TVCs, same as those used in the Music First Audio Passive Magnetic. The transformer wiring for the TAP is custom UP-OCC copper sourced from Neotech.
