Pro-Ject Tube Box S Phono Preamp. Bought it as a backup when I sent in my Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL for repairs. Had it in my secondary system for a month or two while the VYNL labored its way through the repair process (which ended up just being a faulty wallwart). Anyway, it was a fortuitous venture as I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed a tube phono stage when I was younger. In fact I went back to a tube phono stage pretty much immediately in my primary system and have been happily rolling ever since. Anyway, very low hours on the tubes, dead silent, and an inexpensive way to get introduced (or perhaps re-introduced!) to the magic that tubes work on vinyl. Thanks for looking!

Warm vacuum-tube sound for your beloved vinylThe Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 offers the warm, natural, expansive sound that vacuum tube preamps are famous for. Not coincidentally, thats exactly the sound I want when I listen to my favorite records. And tube preamps like this one are excellent at eliminating unwanted noise, so you hear only the music.This versatile preamp features adjustable input capacitance settings for moving magnet and high-output moving coil cartridges, plus gain-setting options to better match your cartridge to your system. A switchable subsonic filter protects your amplifier and speakers from power-wasting low-frequency rumble below 20 Hz.Power supply included - for US 110v outlet. Can be used outside of US with adapters.

PRO-JECT TUBE BOX S2Vacuum tube phono stage Comes with the original power adapter with UK and euro ends, the original pair of matched ECC83 tubes, box and all paperwork. Physical condition is excellent please see photos Selling due to personal preference for solid state, however still an excellent phono stage for tube fans. The tubes have around 50 hours (ballpark) of use, they still have heaps of life left in them but can also be easily rolled to your liking. Suitable for both MM and MC carts with dip switches on the bottom and front panel buttons for various capacitance and gain settings.
