Up for sale is my beautiful DPA TubeGuru reference series MM Phono/RIAA pre-amplifier in great used condition. Item was built by TubeGuru on special order in 2022, based on the legendary Shure SE-1 schematic, using only the best possible parts available.This phono preamp is really the best on the market money can buy and it rivals the best preamps available on the market.The preamp is freshly serviced and is ready for decades of joyful service.I am currently using it in my main Thorens-SME-SPU setup and it has such dynamics, details, atmosphere and life in it, that I never heard anything like it before.As my new phono preamp is being built on special order (of course :)), I am therefore selling this rare beauty.You could ask, why I sell it then, if it is best? Well, answer is simple: the new phono will have low level MC input, so it will match my SPU without additional transformer. Important, this DPA TubeGuru preamp accepts normal MM level input 47kOhm, so with low level MC cartridges you will still need a step-up transformer. I list below the $$$$ component list: 1. Only vintage NOS made in USA top tubes are used: Bendix USA military 6106 rectifier tube (alone USD150!) Sylvania Gold Brand gold pin 12AU7 (5963) Sylvania black anode E182CC GE 5-Star 57512.
