Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 DAC & Preamp — Balanced XLR
About as close to unused as a fourteen-year-old component gets — the protective film is still on the display, and the original carton, manual and remote are all here. The converter section is the DacMagic Plus's: twin Wolfson WM8740s in dual differential, fed by Anagram ATF2 upsampling that re-clocks and interpolates everything arriving at any input up to 24-bit/384 kHz, with three selectable reconstruction filters. Balanced XLR outputs and a digital preamplifier stage on top of that. Excellent condition.
Rotel RC-870 Preamplifier – MM/MC Phono, Made in Japan, 1985
Rotel called this a stereo control amplifier rather than a preamp, and it earns the name — no tone controls, no filters, no loudness, just four line inputs and two tape loops with dubbing either way. The phono stage runs moving magnet and moving coil through separate buffers, and line distortion is no greater than 0.004%. Stamped Tokyo, Japan on the rear panel. Excellent cosmetic condition.
Sony TAE-20FB Falcon Preamplifier — Bronze, MM/MC Phono, Japan
The control amplifier from Sony's short-lived Falcon range — made in Japan for barely two years and rarely seen on this side of the Pacific. Bronze-anodised aluminium case, a real moving-coil phono input alongside moving-magnet, and a signal path that has been freshly recapped. A couple of light marks on the casework, otherwise Very Good. Ships from Kanata, ON.
