Jake123 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) SOLD Item Condition: Great Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Sydney State: New South Wales Payment Method: EFT, Cash on pIck up Reason for selling: NLR Further information: SOLD I inherited this pre amp from my Dad he had it for a while. I believe it's about 10 years old. I started it up and it works really well. Great sound for the modest cost. It's got a few marks here and there, please refer to photographs. Sale is only for the pre amp, no cables. I don't have the boxes for this pre amp so prefer local pick up, but will consider posting at agreed price. Postage/Courier (boxes) and insurance will need to be paid for by purchaser. I set out below some details in relation to the pre amp: Frequency response: 20 Hz - 50 kHz +/- 0.5 dB, Output voltage: 2 V Total harmonic distortion: < 0.1 % (1 kHz, 1 Watt), Input sensitivity: 240 mV, Signal-Noise ratio: > 90 dB Input impedance: 47 kOhm Inputs: 4 x Stereo RCA, 2 x Stereo XLR Outputs: 2 x Stereo RCA, 1 x Stereo RCA Rec Out, 1 x Stereo XLR, 2 x 3,5 mm Jack sockets (Power Control) Tubes: 1 x 12 AX7B, 2 x 12AU7, double transformer Colour: black/silver, Weight: 10 kg Dimensions (WxHxD): 430 x 135 x 370 mm A valve prestage to meet the highest standards. Inside, the 4x12AX7 and 3x12AU7 valves provide the perfect pre-amplification for weak signals.The circuitry with its negative feedback design is the optimum of linearity and sound.Gold-plated high-grade Neutrik XLR input and output connectors take the relevant cables, giving the best possible quality, and they guarantee a clean sound. (this is from the Vincent website) Photos: Are of the actual unit. I set out below some articles in relation to this unit, which is pretty well regarded: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/tas-188-vincent-audio-sa-t8-preamplifier-sp-t800-monoblock-amplifier/ https://www.vincentshop.co.uk/sa-t8 http://www.audioreview.com/product/amplification/preamplifiers/vincent-audio/sa-t8.html Edited October 27, 2020 by Jake123 Updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Elliott Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Roll the Crap supplied Tubes, especially the 12AX7's, Psvanes are great in this. Just superb. Down the track a Cap upgrade and the SA-T8 will kick plenty of expensive Pre's to the kerb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake123 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Thanks Initforthemusic, I was really surprised what you could get out of this modestly priced pre amp. It was really good. I could only imagine what it would be like with the Psvanes. Cheers Edited October 15, 2020 by Jake123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakestar Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It's a terrific unit for tube rolling. I had best results rolling a NOS mullard 12ax7 or GE 5751 into the V1 position. Didn't really find a noticeable change in the other spots. It punched out SQ way above its price point. Glwts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
