Component History...

I purchased this Mint one owner dealer demo in 2021 for a second turntable project which I have changed direction...

I was using it with the Pear Audio Little John Turntable which I also have up for sale here...

From Mies Audio:

The new Mies p1000 is the first model in Mies' new Master Series line. Designed to offer the world's very best performance at a comparatively modest price, the Master Series begs to be judged against the world's ultra-high end. The p1000 is a fitting introduction to the line. Dual transformer, dual mono, audiophile grade component and full function gain and loading mean that every last ounce of music can be wrung from your cartridge.

The sound is effortless. Clean, but not sterile. Accurate but not scientific. Dynamic but not hyped. It is simply an open window onto the sound the artist created.

An exhaustive range of Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) settings ranging from 40dB to 72dB gain, and 100ohm to 47000ohm loading mean you can tailor the p1000 to match any cartridge perfectly.

A super-special 845ohm loading is designed to match the world's-best Jan Allaerts cartridges. If you're an Allaerts owner, you need to hear this phono stage. Also, gain and loading can be combined in any combination for true tweaker's.

The ultra-low noise and high quality discrete parts will shock you as to the dynamic range possible from your LP playback system.

Balanced XLR and RCA outputs offer a wide variety of connection possibilities and make the p1000 suitable for professional and library archiving purposes.

Finally, the simple, trademark Mies look is understated but luxurious and complements any high end system.

Cosmetically...

This Elegantly understated phono preamp is As New blemish free...

Operationally...

The Musical results via the Pear Audio Little John turntable with both mm & mc cartridges were quite stunning.

Pairing this combination I dare say reached musical heights at times of similar audiophile setups I have heard in the $ 7,500 to $10,000 for sure. I could not believe my ears !

This is an audiophile's dream combination for sure having the sublime elegance of its presence with musical magic at one's fingertips with a price point that is head turning...

The Mies - Pear Audio combination is indeed in the "Hi-End Club" with comfortable affordability in comparison to much " higher priced spread's "...

So If you have a very nice audiophile like turntable cartridge setup having both mm & mc options with infinite setting combinations the Meis p1000 with its audio flexibility and  beautiful simplistic presence this is indeed an audio investment of immense valve to one's system...

Here is the full description of the Mies P1000 from Planet of Sound's website:

"A reference-grade phono preamp that will rival components 3x its price "

The Mies p1000 Phono Preamplifier is simply unbeatable under $12000. We made it based against our former reference preamp and the wizards in our Taiwan factory pulled out a miracle.

How does it sound?

This is the ultimate in life to music. The effortless dynamics positively destroy digital and energize the room in a degree that you are unlikely to hear ever from another component. Deep deep bass with incredible quickness and lack of overhang means the whether it's rock drums or full-bodied jazz bass, the musical notes stop and start with utmost faithfulness, just like real instruments in a room. Tonally from top to bottom this is perfection with absolutely no error of any kind. Terms like warm or bright become useless because there is simply no way to explain the total lack of coloration here. Every record sounds exactly as the studio engineer recorded it.

Features

With conveniently located dip-switches on the bottom panel, the Mies p1000 can easily be dialed into the exact impedance and gain settings of any cartridge type, making the most versatile addition to your turntable system. Any cartridge you will ever own will be compatible. Even super low output exotic cartridges will not be outdone by the p1000. The rest of the preamplifier is kept clean with a silver aluminum faceplate and black aluminum housing, a refined finish that will look great in any system.

Completely dual mono circuitry right back to two transformers means that this is essentially two phono stages in one box for ultimately low channel cross talk. The increase in stereo separation this gives is stunning

Impedance settings (ohm): 100, 220, 470, 845, 1K, 47K

Gain settings (dB): 40, 46, 52, 60, 66, 72"
