Item: IFI Itube, Class A, PREAMP / BUFFER. Headphone amp. Variable gain in preamp mode.
Location: Brisbane
Price: $270 (firm) + postage if required but would prefer local sale. Price new is $495 + postage I believe.
Item Condition: As new. Still have all the packaging.
Reason for selling: Decided to invest some money in my Bride Of Zen Preamp so this one is not needed.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only
Extra Info: I bought this about 3 weeks ago from another SNA member. I really like the sound of it but I believe the First Watt Bride Of Zen preamp that I have probably makes a better partnership with my power amp (another First Watt design so perhaps no surprise).
This little preamp is fully featured and would particularly suit someone who listens to headphones and / or a high quality computer sound system. The 3D expansion system is particularly non-intrusive and would suit near-field or closely positioned speakers such as on a desktop. Apparently it works well with headphones too. A very flexible unit which can add a subtle tube warmth whilst still maintaining a good dose of precision.
If I don't get any offers, I'll just take this home and use it on my PC.
