This is a 2003 GSP Audio eragold MK IV phono pre-amp. In speaking with GSP they told me based on the serial number, "The only difference between this model and the later one was the circuit board was changed to fit the new case and take a PCB mounted RCA phono socket block, as still used today. The actual circuit itself is exactly the same. We have changed the design very slightly on the current model but it is still essentially the same." It looks pristine and plays absolutely musically as it should. Believe it or not it sounds ever so slightly better than my Graham Slee Reflex series M. It is in excellent condition with upgraded power supply. https://www.stereophile.com/phonopreamps/105graham/index.html

Questions for the seller |

| Happy Holidays. Chris from California here. What do you think about your GSP driving a Sumiko BP2? Thanks. It's designed for high-output MCs or MMs of 2–10mV, and had plenty of gain (41.5dB) for the 2.5mV Sumiko Blackbird.
Yours has similar specs:
Offering exceptional performance and musicality at an affordable price the latest generation Blue Point No. 2 sets a new standard in its price class.
Moving coil design, high output, 2.5-mV, alloy cantilever, Blue Point-cut elliptical diamond stylus, and standard 1/2" mounting.
Specifications:
Cartridge Type High output MC
Frequency Response 15Hz-35KHz
Output Voltage/Channel 2.5mV
Channel Separation 32dB

Compliance (x10-6 cm/dyne) 15
Stylus Size/Shape .3x.7/Elliptical

It's designed for high-output MCs or MMs of 2–10mV, and had plenty of gain (41.5dB) for the 2.5mV Sumiko Blackbird.
"But you won't buy this one for its looks. Given its price and its miraculous—and this agnostic means miraculous—performance, I recommend the GSP Audio Era Gold Mk.V as enthusiastically, if not more so, as I've recommended any product I've reviewed and recommended in all the years I've been doing this."

| Hi. Chris from California again. I see the reviews used are for the Mark V model. Is the Mark IV being sold as good as the Mark V? Thanks. Chris,
1. the IV and V share the same exact circuitry. This quote below is from Graham Slee's customer service. I'd sent them my serial number to identify when it was made exactly. "The only difference between this model and the later one was the circuit board was changed to fit the new case and take a PCB mounted RCA phono socket block, as still used today. The actual circuit itself is exactly the same. We have changed the design very slightly on the current model but it is still essentially the same."
