I am selling my Classe DR6 MkII preamp (with dedicated power supply unit and connecting umbilical cable) that I have owned since 1993 - so 29 years in total, during which time it has been only occasionally used, very carefully handled and always stored in cabinets away from enquiring hands and any prospect of damage. I would describe the overall condition as 9/10 (though I know that is a subjective scale). I simply doubt there will be another DR6 in this condition anywhere. The Classe DR6 preamp is much revered and is still today sought-after as a classic pre-amp of its period, designed and engineered by Dave Reich who founded Classe Audio Inc in Canada and donated his initials to the companys amplifier naming strategy. The Mk II DR6 was introduced in 1990 and is distinguished from the original DR6 units by having black (not gold) handles, Play/Mute and Bypass On/Off switches on the front panel and the absence of rack mounting cut-outs.The DR6 is particularly renowned for its sonic abilities, its tank-like build quality and its longevity. It accepts five inputs (including a wonderful phono section that can be switched between an MM input or an MC input that can be fine-tuned with the supplied resistor kit) and drives through single-ended (line/phono) and balanced (XLR) output sockets. It still sounds fantastic and special, some 30 years after its launch. My DR6 comes with its dedicated power supply unit (PSU) and connecting umbilical cable, a mains-power chord, the original DR6 Owners Manual, an unused pack of preformed resistors (complete with silver solder and allen key!) to fine-tune the MC phono stage, and all of the original packaging including double layered box and moulded foam inserts.Due to the weight of the unit, I would prefer collection from Warwickshire (or I can help with delivery, within reason) but shipping may be possible if requested and agreed separately with the buyer. Happy to talk about possibilities.Any questions - please ask!

Used in perfect operational order Classe Audio CP-40 solid state stereo preamp w/ Phono / Remote and Manual, 19 faceplate. Minimalistic design, with all essential functions to support high fidelity reproduction. Sound is not fatiguing, warm and detailed. MM/MC phono is also excellent if needed. Remote is not original but works fine. You can program your own too. Unit performs best when connected thru XLR outputs to the amplifier. I am downsizing, its time to let somebody else to enjoy its magic.
