YS Audio Symphonies Plus-R valve pre-amp (with RC!)

An excellent pre-amp. Has quite an on-line following - you'll understand why, once you've heard it.

Open, detailed, fast & smooth - just what a good valve pre-amp should be!

4 line inputs, 1 tape-out and 2 sets of main outputs. All RCA.

Responds well to fancy power cords.

Remote control, too.

A great piece of kit at a bargain price.

£275 + £8 UK P&P.

Excellent condition & perfect working order.





Only selling because my new EAR 802 pre-amp is even better! (& costs a LOT more).

 

Still available after Tony of Coherent Systems renegued on an agreed deal.

 

Bump.

 

nice...what cheap power amp wpuld you recommend to go with it?

 

It would go well with pretty much any power amp - although ones designed for use with passive pre-amps are best avoided as the high sensitivity of these can cause the inevitable low-level valve-hiss from the pre to be intrusive. 'Standard' power amps are just fine.

IME there's a real touch of musical magic from a good valve pre - and this YS example delivers this very nicely!

Personally, I think a combo of valve pre and solid state power can work really well.
