6 discrete 500-series preamps for $1600, or sold in pairs.
Three pairs of api 312 style microphone preamps for 500-series racks (rack not for sale). Sold as pairs or full set only. All in excellent working condition. Just selling because they’re redundant with the 312 type pres I installed in my console.
2x Classic API VP2x. Precursor to the vp25/26. Nice old api style knobs, stepped input pot, CA0252 opamps (the best 2520 clone, better than new api amps imo). $650 for the pair
2x OSA very early version with DI. These are a little thicker sounding to me than the others, really nice with a 990c if you want a burlier different flavor than the others. I don’t have spare 990 so these come with nice melcor 1731 clones. $650 pair.
2x old 312 clones. Got these almost 20 years ago. Not sure of the maker. Simple 312 circuit w Cinemag transformers and 2520 type opamps (pretty sure an old version from the classic api site). These are a fraction of a mm wider than the other modules. I can cleanly dremel them even if you want but it didn’t bother me in my rack. $500 pair.
Will sell all six for $1600.
Pickup in NYC. Or pay shipping in the US. Thanks!
