I know I will regret selling this piece, just as I did with my Marantz 7c but my son's college fees are reaching fast so...

Absoloutly mint - some RCA in the input section have never been used, not a single scratch and equiped with the largest PSU.

I have never had a most musical sounding preamp, and have had quite a few including CAT, Reimyo, Gryphon and the like - this is just another level in terms of transparency and versatility.

The EQ is flawless - and is the only known EQ that does not mess the signal a bit - forget about listening just a few of your record colection and restore the magic in all of them - it is that good.

Asking $13,000 - split shipping in pelican case.

Pics by mail for those serious to move forward.

This Palette is the version with input selections that enables it to be not just an ultimate EQ but as a preamp. If one intends transferring old analog recordings to digital or dubbing special tapes with lack of sparkle or bass, it would an ideal tool to get the results one is looking for without damaging the original material.

Are you selling a Palette Preamplifier or an Audio Palette?

Audio Palette MIB version with 4 inputs and large PSU.

Then you must ask Steve to change the thread tittle - people just browsing are getting the wrong idea, your unit is the Audio Palette MIV with discrete circuits and steeped attenuators. The Cello Palette preamplfier/equalizer was a much lower cost unit using ICs and potentiometers. I still keep the String Cello cables that I used with my old Audio Palette, now living in Japan.

You can get electronic versions of the manual here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjY_qCz97LRAhVr7IMKHRdhBvEQFggaMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.matthew-james.net%2FCustomer-Content%2FWWW%2FCMS%2Ffiles%2Faudio-palette-owner-miv.pdf&usg=AFQjCNE_-ThSz3tDomP9l0xfoPb-90ZMuQ&bvm=bv.142059868,d.amc
