I've had Ratshack's stereo pre-amp (catalog number 970-1018) for a few years now. It's been very well-rated for the price (I paid $30 with tax), and this unit works perfectly. There are visible scratches on the top and sides of the unit, which has a very retro, 1970s functionality to it; this is by no means audiophile eye candy.
I'm selling this phono pre for one reason: I don't have a record player anymore. I'm not going analog ever, either. I'm too lazy to clean records and cartridges, find and maintain a turntable, cartridge, tonearm, etc. Not to mention finding quality recordings in good condition (and most of the stuff I'm interested in, for instance MFSL recordings, cost way more than I'd be willing to spend).
I'm looking for $20 firm, including shipping. This is $10 off retail for a great pre which, from what I read, holds its own against much more expensive units.
