Item: Pass Labs Bride of Zen Preamplifier
Location: Brisbane Northside
Price: $350
Item Condition: No more than a few hundred hours use. Some minor scuffs on top plate approx 7.5/10
Reason for selling: I bought this off Y B about 3/4 weeks ago and I've used it for about 5 hours total. I wanted to try it with my Pass Labs F6 clone to make it a complete set so to speak. Well this is a fine sounding (and looking) preamp but the reality is that I play music at my office at really low levels (I don't get above the first watt 
).
The ALPS volume pot on this unit is great but as usual it has a little bit of play at really low volumes. That means at the minuscule gain settings I use, I'm getting one channel. Crank it up and it soon comes good - and sounds amazing.
Very sweet sound but without any attempt at artificial smoothing. Just the music!
Payment Method: Pickup preferred (cash) but will post at cost if paying Paypal.
Extra Info:
Here is Mr Pass' take on the amplifier (it has the unusual onorthodox topology): https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=12&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiE97zJ-eDMAhVB7mMKHcRjASIQFghHMAs&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.passdiy.com%2Fpdf%2Fbrideofzen.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHPNmGCWobjlLJkuVtO9FPZo442WA&bvm=bv.122129774,d.dGo
