Canary Audio is known for their preamps. This preamp was acquired in a trade for a power amp. I planned on using this amp with a power amp I bought from TMR. I returned the power amp in favor of an Integrated amp which was a perfect match for my extremely high efficient speakers. So now this wonderful preamp becomes redundant in my system.

About this preamp. It is a 2021 model. The original owner cut a hole out above the rectifier tube so that larger rectifiers can be rolled. I replaced all the tubes (with JJ tubes identical to the original OEM tubes) and they have basically zero hours on them. Several other tubes were included (none very valuable) but they will be included if you would like to tube roll right off the bat. This preamp also comes with the Remote which is a $750 upgrade (why the hell does it cost that much LOL?) The preamp itself retails at $7900.

If you have a high end headphone system or 2 channel speaker system, you owe it to yourself to hear it with a truly high end preamp. From my experiences, a preamp will make a more positive impact than a higher end dac. I had a Rockna Wavelight which has a very good preamp, but the Canary was a big improvement over the built in Preamp of the Rockna. WIth my Hifi Rose RS150B, I thought the Dac was subpar….but when the preamp was bypassed to the Canary, I realized the preamp was the limiting factor!
