Zanden 1200mk3 Phono Preamp with EQ curve positions RIAA, TELDEC, EMI, COLUMBIA, DECCA

This Unit was a Trade up to our Award Winning Jens Phono Preamp.
 
Beautiful Looking and Sounding Unit. Works Perfectly!  Serial No. 0708039
This Unit is Four Years Old.

“For Sale Only, No Trades”.

Reason for 8 Rating: There are two very light marks on the base. One each on the left front and left rear corners. The power supply cable's decorative jacket is frayed at the main unit end. But Works fine! This purely cosmetic. You don't even see it when hooked up.  (see photos).
   
Any dark areas or imperfections in the photos are from trying to photograph the extremely shinny Crome Finish.

From the Zanden Website:

Introduction:

Many people believe that the recording curves of stereo LPs were unified in RIAA. However, as a result of a survey that Zanden conducted, we reached the conclusion that, TELDEC, EMI, COLUMBIA, and DECCA curves also exist in addition to RIAA and must be supported. Further, if the recording phase of stereo LPs takes the output phase of current stereo LP cartridges as its reference, then the existence of recordings with extremely numerous inverted phases also has been identified. These facts overturn the conventional wisdom about stereo LPs. Zanden's Model 1200mk3 solves all of these issues. When played back by the correct equalization curve and phase, stereo LPs will present us with a wonderful and amazing world of music never experienced before.
