    I've been cycling through preamps lately for fun, and have a couple to sell that are both well reviewed across the board:

    Both are fully balanced from input to output.

    Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE with some modifications in black:

    Rating this at 7/10 due to a few nicks and a small scratch on the right side. Great preamp. Slightly warm in tonality with great imaging and bass. I prefer the Hegel P20, but YMMV. Don't have original packaging, but will be packed very securely. Includes remote, power cord and some literature.

    Modifications as described from the previous owner:

    This has upgraded:

    2- Regulators, Dexa UWB " Series" Regulator (Ultra Wide Band)

    4- Kiwame Signal path Resistors: 10R / 2 watt, 1.0%, Axial, Tinned Copper Leads, Flameproof Silicone Coated

    4- 22000µF / 25VDC, MLytic® Audio Grade, MLGO (Glue-On 2Pin), 30mmD x 40mmH, 14 ESR (mOhm) 10 ESL (nH),

    The
    TI LM4562 OPAMPs in the input stage and the output stage have all been
    mounted in pin sockets so you can roll your own.

    The Mundorf caps and Dexa regulators made the most improvement by lowering
    the noise floor to non existent and improving the lower bass to near
    perfect levels. These regulators made a noticeable improvement over the
    Wyred 4 Sound discrete regulators.

    SBAF friends and contributors: $800 shipped (waaaay below Audiogon Bluebook value).



    Hegel P20 in silver SOOOOLD

    I'd very conservatively rate this at an 8/10 physically because of some tiny nicks that are invisible unless you're a few inches away. Cavernous soundstage, excellent bass control and definition, and an extended but sweet treble. Dynamics are simply fantastic. Slightly warm in tonality that doesn't compromise on detail at all. Have original box, remote, power cord and manual.

    SBAF friends and contributor price: $950 (well below Audiogon Bluebook value). I'll cover PayPal fees. Shipping is a flat $40.

    Bumping this up. Great fully balanced preamp for way below market price! I picked up a Pass Labs XP-10 and need to recoup some of the costs. Heck, make me an offer. I want to move this sucker.
