FS: High end phono stage/preamp
For sale: Hagerman 'Bugle' Phono preamplifier. This one will only be of ineterst to the do-it-yourself crowd... The Bugle phono stage was very highly praised by Stereophile's Mike Fremmer ("Ridiculously good for the money", he said) and awarded class D in the Stereophile Apr. 2004 issue. This particular Bugle was professionally constructed using the best audiophile grade components, on Hagerman's 4 layer printed circuit board (that, for some reason, they call 'half-kit'). Resistors are 1% metal film. Capacitors are 2% polypropelene. ICs are premium FET input audiophile grade parts. I installed it inside a ReVox B791 turntable and powered it from the turntable power supply. Driven by a Shure V-15VMR, it sounded nothing short of superb. Shortly thereafter, the turntable died. As a result, the phono stage had seen very little use; probably, on the order of 10 to 20 hours. In other words, it's practically new. What you will receive is the assembled Bugle PCB, along with the manual. If you wish to battery power it, you will need to install two battery boxes. Otherwise, provide a +/- 9V to 15V power supply. There is provision for a power switch on the board (currently hardwired ON). Also, unless you prefer to hardwire the input and output cables, you'll want to install RCA receptacles. All these parts are readily available and quite low in cost. Also, unless you mount it inside a turntable, your will need a suitable case. If you wish to see a photo, just ask for it. For further details see: http://www.hagtech.com/bugle.html , from where the manual for the Bugle and Hagerman's power supply may be downloaded. $95 plus shipping of 1 lb from 01702. (Hagerman charges $169 plus shipping). |
