Item: First Watt Bride of Zen Preamplifier
Location: Brisbane Northside
Price: $400 - now has a tasty TKD pot' in it installed by greenwagon - this is less than the unit and cost to buy and install the pot.....
Item Condition: No more than a few hundred hours use. Some minor scuffs on top plate approx 8/10
Reason for selling: I bought this off Y B about 8 weeks ago and I've used it for about 7 hours total. I wanted to try it with my Pass Labs F6 clone to make it a complete set so to speak. The volume pot that was on this unit had a little bit of play at really low volumes. Since replacing the pot with a really nice TKD unit, the issue has gone and detail has gone up a notch. Mosfets feed the outputs and provide a large degree of gain - perfect if you are struggling to get a power amp' to sufficient volumes. Audiophile capacitors.
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 unorthodox topology):
Subjective Performance / Conclusion
"It is in this spot that the author elucidates the sonic astonishment which awaits the amateur upon
completion of the project. I will not disappoint you. It sounds marvelous. Really. No Kidding"
