[faxcomp]

Item: Supratek Grange Pre-Amplifier
Location: Melbourne (Sunbury)
Price: $6,000
Item Condition: Very Good
Reason for selling: Moving up North to an apartment, so everything must go.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Direct Deposit
Extra Info: I purchased this from JohnA around 4 years ago who bought it from Steve M around 1 year prior to that. According to SteveM, it was Mick Malony’s personal unit. John purchased it with no volume remote, so had it sent back to Supratek to have one fitted. At the same time, it had a once over and got a clean bill of health.

 

 

Here we have a DHT 300B Pre-Amp which also features 2 MC phono stages and remote volume control. Also has a separate power supply
 
The back of the Grange is feature-packed. It is currently configured to have 5 RCA Inputs; 2 RCA Outputs; 1 Balanced Output; 2 switched phono Inputs (you can use two turntables and switch on the fly between them); cartridge loading switch; (loading options are 10ohm, 100ohm, 1000ohm 47k) 1 Tape Out; and it has a Negative Feedback settings switch. The feedback switch allows you to match the impedance response to any amplifier you might want to use, solid state or valve.
 
Up top on the solid 2mm copper chassis and in front are controls for Channel Balance; Source Select and Volume; a Mute switch, a pair of unused tube sockets and a pair of obsolete switches which were used for tube loading when trying out different DHT tubes 300B was chosen as the best sounding on this Pre. The top is also plated in 18 Karat gold. It is a little stained as can be seen in the photos, but of course does not hinder the performance of the unit and still looks amazing. Photos have a tendency to exaggerate the effect.
 
Tubes supplied will be
2 x 300B (Shuguang Treasure’s)
2 x 6sn7
2 x 6e6p
2 x 6922
2 x e180/6688
 
4 x 5881
1 x 5ar4 
 
I also have some spares which will come with it
 
I would prefer a local buyer, but am happy to ship at your expense, but only if I feel I can package it up safely and securely for transport.

I will however take no responsibility if it is damaged during transport. The unit is reasonably heavy (both pieces), so needs some serious packing. 
 
There is plenty of info on the net, but here is something from our very own SteveM.
