Does this preamp exist?

Hello,

I'm looking for a stereo, tubed preamp with the following features:

*excellent mm/mc phono stage
*headphone output (or two tape loops)
*at least three line-level inputs plus at least one tape loop
*used price of 1,500$ or less

Right now I have a Audible Illusions 2D which I like a lot more than the Conrad Johnson PV10 that preceeded it (though the CJ was not without its charms). So sonically something similar to the AI.

If you can think of any possibilities, please let me know. And thanks again.

If your lucky you might come accross a Tandberg 3018A. Great unit. Excellent phono stage and with rosewood panels very nice. Mike

TAD-150 check it out at 2baudio.com. New it's $1299.00 for the regular version $1537.00 for the signature version. Has exactly what you are looking for and accepts 12AU7,AX7, or AT7 tubes so you can tailor the sound to your ears. All that and remote control too.

I would urge you to consult a qualified technician familiar with Tandberg products. I just had a pretty bad experience with a Tandberg 3008A. One tech said he will no longer take them in for service due to extremely costly replacement parts from Tandberg; many of the parts of proprietary Tandberg and NOT cheap. Labour costs can be quite high as they were not built with ease of service in mind.

You might be interested to know that AVA has a new Trnscendence 8 SLR available but it's not on the website yet- you would need to call Frank.

(4)inputs; (2)tape loops; (2)main outputs. Optional phono stage; optional remote; optional tape output buffers.

I buy and sell What ever I run into. I happened to run into a Tandberg 3018A. How do I test it? What is a good website to sell electronics?
