A brand new Dared MC-7P preamp (2016 US
limited Edition, which added internal DAC so you can connect this preamp to your PC via USB cable and listen to music from your computer. See the pictures. This is best full tube preamp on the market today with two line stage inputs, plus phono and USB inputs!):
World best full function pure-tube-based (7 tubes) preamp (line stage + phono stage)+ USB DAC per $ you can buy ---- repeat again: 7 tubes + 4 gold tube capsules + two separated transformers.
The four 18k gold-plated
solid brass tube capsules cost more than the price I asked, since the current
gold traded price reached over $1400
per oz. Buy it now before too later! (Note: this new model comes with a dual power select switch on the back, which allows you to select power between 110 volts and 230 volts. The photos shown are an old demo unit. So this unit works in Europe without needing a power converter).
Sealed in the original box. This
preamp was specially made for US market, with two line-stage inputs, an MM
phono input (for your LP turntable),plus USB (dac) input for your computer, two pairs outputs
(you can connect one pair to other amp or sub power amps), soft starter, etc.,
come with a wooden remote control.
It meant to be one of the best
preamps (>$2000 out there). The tube covers (shielders)
are coated with 18K gold (since all
signal tubes are shielded, the preamp is very quiet -- one of the quietest phono preamps). Tube
socket and PCB are planted with 18K gold
too (no oxide issue here, best contact and connection). All input signal wires
are pure silver. The circuit design is
very complex (Three tubes are used in power supply section in the circuit), Dared engineers and audiophiles worked together to collect
best designs available and optimized this one with state-art technologies by
computer programs. Here is, you simply cannot get better one with this price,
period!
It uses 7 tubes and has two
huge separate (yes separate--- only Dared design this way.
Simply the best) power transformers: one for high DC volt and one for low volt
of tube heaters and others. The capacitors use Audiophile
grade and the key resistors use NOS AB
and Vishay non-inductive. The tubes come with the amp are Chinese
stock Ruby tubes.
This preamp
will bless ones who know what is the value of this preamp offers.
Q: what does mean phono input?
A: this preamp has about 40 dB gain phono
stage build-in allows connecting to a turntable (Moving Magnet cartage) to
listen your vinyl/LP records. This preamp is pure tube-based, so no IC or other
types of solid state chips used. Why listen to vinyl/LP records? Because human
ears hear analog sound waves in air, so the vinyl/LP records offer closest
nature sound/music since the vinyl/LP preserve analog nature (no digitization
process involved). Some music lovers and audiophiles do listen to vinyl/LP
records, some ones listen to SACD also. Some of very best recording you can find are on
vinyl/LP or/and SACD.
