Sutherland 20/20 Phono Preamplifier - Sale Pending

Further Information:

I bought this about 4 years ago from a fellow SNAer.

I upgraded last year to a Manly Chinook and was going to keep this as I've loved it, but I need funds now for a speaker upgrade.

There are great reviews around such as this one:

From the manual:

"In the quest for the ultimate in stereo separation, the 20/20 goes beyond dual mono, offering instead what I like to call "two-mono". Many audiophiles prefer using mono-block amplification for the benefits of eliminating crosstalk and other noise contaminants associated with shared power supplies. They also prefer the benefit of each amp having it's own reservoir of power, increasing dynamic capabilities, and giving the amp a sense of ease. The exact advantage can be had in a phono-preamplifier, where noise is the worst of enemies. The 20/20 may look like a conventional stereo phono stage, but take off the cover. You will discover two identical mono phono circuit boards, sharing only the same front and back panels. Power supplies, power cords, and all circuitry are separate. Even the power indicator lights are independent"

I don't have the original boxes but I'm sure I could use some existing boxes to send via pack & send etc.
