Zanden Audio 3100 Preamplifier Store Demo, Excellent!

Here's a fantastic opportunity to own world class Zanden gear at an amazing price. We are moving our "as new" 3100 Preamplifier and 8120 Amplifier demos out to make room for brand new product. These prices are one time deals. This ad is for the 3100 Line stage, rated "Product of the Year" by The Absolute Sound last year.

The 3100 line stage is an extraordinary piece and sonically unsurpassed in reproduction of music, PRAT, and proper instrument/vocal timbre. It competes and excels in head to head comparison with virtually every preamplifier product that we've heard, including VAC, VTL, Audio Research, Shindo, Conrad Johnson, Allnic, Mastersound, Air Tight, and many others. Further, it requires a much smaller foot print than many and functions smoothly with one of the best functioning and ergonomic remote controls we've used. Finally, the maintenance issues associated with so many tubes in many of the products mentioned above are a non-issue with the Zanden 3100 given only a pair of 5687 tubes.

If you know music, appreciate how live music should sound, and want to elevate the performance of your system, the 3100 will not disappoint. Further, this preamplifier is tremendously flexible with both balanced and single ended inputs and outputs, as well as remote controlled, "on the fly" polarity switching. For further endorsements, lookup the many stellar reviews from some of the industry's most respected reviewers. 

Looking to take your system to another level? Add our matching Model 8120 Zanden Amplifier (Also awarded Product of the Year by TAS). Again, these are mint store demos with very light use and our very last pieces! Call or email for the 8120 pricing. We'll put together a one time package deal that you'll not find again.

Thanks for looking!
