PRICE DROP Heirloom quality preamp - Jeff Rowland Capri (with PHONO)

NOTE: I have stellar feedback under my USAudioMart account under same name (Muzonas) as well as my previous Audiogon account under "darys2002".  I opened this new account to harmonize my username across both sites.  I expect buyers to have solid feedback as well.  
The most affordable way to get into the amazing Jeff Rowland sound.

I cannot find any flaws on this unit.  Rating 8/10 conservatively since I am not the first owner.

Includes the optional phono cards which are ridiculously good and negate the need for a seperate (and expensive) phono preamp. Can handle any cartridge too (MM/MC with adjustable settings).

The sound of this preamp is POLITE and SMOOTH, but very DYNAMIC, with absolutely no strain or fatigue (even when cranked loud - amazing). Completely black backgrounds, no noise of any kind. The soundstage is huge, laid back, and deep. If this sounds like your type of music making, you cannot go wrong.

It is made out of a solid piece of aluminum and feels very substantial despite its small size. The finishing work on the aluminum is simply beautiful, no one else makes it like Jeff Rowland.

Do your research...all you will find is glowing reviews. This would most likely be a huge upgrade for you.

I only accept CREDIT CARDS through the Audiogon Express Checkout system (similar buyer protection as Paypal and NO FEES TO BUYER)

I do not have the original power cord, but for an additional $50 I can include a Signal MagicPower cord that is pictured.


Here is some info from Jeff Rowland site:

CAPRI TECHNOLOGY
Capri is designed with green technology: It is so cool to the touch that it can be housed in a cabinet with no fear of overheating. A low noise, high-current, regulated switch- mode auto sensing and auto ranging power supply provides Capri with optimum performance at any world-wide mains operating voltage.

The astonishing sonic nimbleness and musical performance of the Capri is made possible by dual TI Burr Brown OPA1632—a fully differential high speed I/O audio amplifier module featuring extreme linearity, super low noise and distortion. As a result, Capri sports the shortest signal path of any JRDG preamplifier ever designed. A fully-balanced architecture, implemented from input to output, maximizes common mode rejection and minimizes signal distortion, eliminating both ground loop noise and EMI.

Capri’s dual-range optically encoded volume control allows a precise gain resolution of 0.5dB, while volume bypass insures compatibility with home theater processors. A quality six-function infrared remote control complements Capri’s front panel operations, while optional phono cards ensure compatibility with vinyl front ends.

CAPRI FEATURES
COMPACT ELEGANCE
Balanced preamplifier design housed inside a low profile, compact, ultra-low resonance, structurally rigid chassis that is precision-machined from solid blocks of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum that is completely sealed for trouble-free operation and high RF and EMI isolation. Features an elegant front panel precision-machined and sculpted with a diamond tipped cutting tool.

UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
Low noise, high-current, dual regulated switch- mode auto sensing and auto ranging power supply provides Capri with optimum performance at any world-wide mains operating voltage.

CORE WITH SHORTEST SIGNAL PATH
The astonishing sonic nimbleness and musical performance of Capri is made possible by the same dual TI Burr Brown OPA1632—fully differential high speed I/O audio amplifier modules--used in the core of the Criterion reference preamplifier. These modules feature extreme linearity, super low noise and distortion. As a result, Capri sports the shortest signal path of any Rowland preamplifier ever for an incredible musical experience.

I/O FLEXIBILITY
Dual low impedance line-level outputs (80 Ohms balanced, 40 Ohms unbalanced), 48 KOhms balanced and unbalanced inputs, and preamp bypass inputs allow unprecedented compatibility with audio and A/V components, while optional high quality phono cards are available for compatibility with vinyl sources.

REMOTE CONTROL
Six-function remote control transmitter adjusts volume, input selection, mute, and channel balance.

PRECISION VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS
Dual rate volume control allows precision level adjustments over nearly a 100 dB range. The volume control incorporates a permanently noiseless optical encoder that always maintain its tactile feel, accuracy, and channel balance at all settings. The volume can be adjusted from 0dB to 99.5dB from the volume knob on the front panel, as well as from the 6 function remote control. Rapid turns of the volume control adjust the volume by 1.5dB increments. Slow turns of the control allow for very fine adjustments by 0.5dB increments.

IEC
15 Amp female IEC AC power connector.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Modest power consumption of mere 6 Watts permits constant power-up operation to eliminate warm-up time and maximize musical performance, and allows Capri to operate enclosed into an entertainment unit.
