Description
Well regarded AVM PA 5.2 preamp with 12ax7/ECC83 tube output stage. Excellent condition with low hours. Circa 2015. Made in Germany. Original MSRP $5,450 Preamp definitely benefits from rolling with vintage tubes. Included in sale: Preamp, Remote Control, Manual & Original Box. Will ship with the original AVM labeled tubes. Note: This preamp does not have the Phono or DAC option Please let me know if you have any questions. Shipping in CONUS only Positive Feedback Review Oct 2013 That being said, it was that chillingly intimate. You can spend more than the $5k plus that it takes to own the PA5.2. I can think of another preamp that I had in my room not too long ago that cost considerably more, but it was not five times better. $5450 is certainly not chump change, at least not around my house. That being said, it is certainly not out of line for what the AVM PA5.2 offers, and in today’s high end audiophile market that is something of a bargain. To match the performance you would likely have to spend at least twice that much, if not a considerable amount more. And to get any noticeable improvement you would need to spend three times as much at the minimum, based on my experience! Can’t say that it is bargain-basement pricing, but I can state categorically that it is value pricing at its best. My advice? Check it out before someone figures out that this gear may well be a bit under priced! https://positive-feedback.com/Issue69/avm_audio.htm Manufacturer Specs: Tube output stages equipped with ECC83 (12 ax7a), balanced mode Regulated high voltage generator independent from AC mains for supply of the tubes 5 line inputs (one XLR), 1 processor in/out, 2 Pre Amp outputs (cinch and XLR) Headphone output, switchable as front-in Blue graphic display, dimmable Menu functions (i.e. adjustable input sensitivity, individual input naming, display settings and many more) Input impedance line cinch 6,8 k?
