Air Tight ATE-2001 Reference Preamplifier

Just received from US Distributor Axiss Audio who inspected and made sure it is in mint condition (happy to connect buyer with head of Axiss to confirm condition/history). Have not opened the boxes. Buyer to pay shipping and any paypal fees.


I ended up buying an ARC Ref 6 to match my Ref 2se, so I am selling this ATE-2001 which I was going to use in my second system which I am thinning out. Please see my other ad for matching Air Tight ATM-3011R Reference Mono Amps. Am also selling AMG v12 table plus Benz LP-S cartridge with matching SRA ohio class stand.
This ATE-2001 has separate power supply and takes FOUR phone inputs (3 MC and one MM) -- online descriptions are inaccurate ... it has four phono inputs not three. Wonderful built in expensive SUTs for MC with variable loading. I ran three turntables and different cartridges into my previous owned ATE-2001 and it handled all with aplomb.

Air Tight ATE-2001 Reference Preamplifier features:

• Meticulous hand wiring without PCB in all signal paths
• 1.6mm thick steel plate to shield all of the internal and external vibrations
• High mass solid brass attenuator pot that is resistant to vibrations, offering smoothest operational touch with utmost accuracy
• Output stage composed of a low-impedance, high output SRPP circuit that assures stable function of NF circuitry throughout wide bandwidth
• Exclusive on-board step-up transformer by My Sonic Lab, featuring high quality core and wire
• A 6DJ8 single stage flat amp, designed as a no NFb SRPP circuit, that sends stable output signals under low impedance even when the attenuator is activated
• 3 line inputs and 4 sets of phono inputs that enable you to use 4 different cartridges/tonearms (3 MCs and 1 MM) for versatile listening pleasure
